Our 2025 Mine Workers Trust scholarship recipients have been announced. The Mine Workers Trust provides $7000 scholarships to 20 MEU members or their dependents, to undertake further study. This year’s recipients range from budding film-makers and musicians to doctors, vets and engineers.
Scholarship winner Grant Hamilton, whose dad Darren is a long-term member of the MEU Bayswater Lodge at Mt Arthur mine, is going into the second year of his Bachelor of Veterinary Studies at Charles Sturt Uni. Grant hopes to focus on improving both human and animal health with a focus on biosecurity and disease management. The scholarship will help with the expenses of Grant’s full-time study, based at Charles Sturt’s Wagga Wagga campus.
Congratulations and all the best Grant – and all the 2025 recipients. Look out for applications opening for 2026 scholarships towards the end of the year.
