An exciting time for UniSA Scholarships

This year is shaping up to be an exciting one for UniSA, with a number of new scholarships, grants and prizes available to students. The new schemes reflect a varied range of interests and disciplines that maintain the vision of the donor, but also support the high standards of ethics and integrity of UniSA. Badge SA is one such corporate donor which, with more than 25 years’ experience in managing projects ranging from $1 million to $60 million, wanted to offer students of construction management and economics the opportunity to enhance their professional development. The $10,000 scholarship will offer the recipient valued support while they study, as well as the opportunity for mentoring and vocational guidance, and possibly a graduate position. The Pank family are prolific donors to UniSA. Adding to the the 13 named scholarships previously available to students, another three have been introduced to encourage students from Adelaide’s northern suburbs, predominately a lower socio-economic area, to consider studying at university.

The Clinic will give the public access to quality legal information at no cost and, importantly, provides law students experience of working within a real practice. Clients will be able to confidentially enquire about legal issues such as debt claims, car accidents and faulty goods, but students cannot provide court representation or give advice to both sides in a legal dispute. Students are also unable to provide advice on matters of wills, power of attorney and personal injury claims.
