2027 Scholarship program 

Our Community Bank Mansfield & District Scholarship Program is returning, with $10,000 available for Bachelor’s degree studies and $4,000 for TAFE studies commencing in 2027.

Since 2019, we’ve invested $117,500 in 22 local students, helping them pursue everything from Psychology and Law to Midwifery, Computer Science and Patisserie.

Our aim is to assist local students facing personal, medical, social, and/or financial circumstances that make it difficult to undertake further education.

Scholarships will be awarded based on how an applicant’s addresses the key criteria, demonstrating….

  • Evidence of personal challenges hindering your ability to undertake further study
    AND
  • Evidence of leadership, academic motivation and community involvement.

We are not looking for students with the best ATAR score.

We are looking for students who’s lives we can make the most impact on.

Applications close January 22nd, 2027.
