Department of Education secretary Mark Scott said the scholarships not only provide financial assistance to the recipients, but also acknowledge their dedication and commitment to the public education system.
“These scholarships are about recognising and rewarding student excellence to encourage high-achieving students to continue to maximise their potential,” he said.
“At the same time, the scholarships aim to remove those barriers to achievement created by social and economic disadvantage.
“It’s encouraging to see that through the generous and ongoing support of its sponsors, the Public Education Foundation is able to support even more richly deserving students each year.
“After all, it is the efforts of our students as well as those of our exceptional educators that combine to create the extraordinary public education system we have in NSW.”
The scholarships were provided by the Public Education Foundation to enhance student and educator learning and professional pathways.
The Public Education Foundation is a charity dedicated to enhancing the value and reputation of public education by providing life-changing scholarships to its students, teachers and principals.
