Jim Anderson Scholarship
The Jim Anderson Memorial Scholarships encourage local students from Blacktown City schools to undertake university studies and contribute to the development of the local economy. Provided in honour of the late Jim Anderson, the former Member for Londonderry in NSW State Parliament and the former Mayor of Blacktown City Council. Mr Anderson was a tireless advocate for public education and Western Sydney, and his memory is honoured each year through the provision of five scholarships up to the value of $5000 which are granted to students in government high schools in Western Sydney who will be undertaking formal full-time study at either Western Sydney University or at a TAFE NSW college or campus.
We encourage Wydham College students to gain a position in a full-time course for the following year at either the University of Western Sydney or at a TAFE NSW college or campus; and provide proof of enrolment. One of the scholarships is designated for an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student. The scholarship is valued at $5,000.
