The John Hanrahan Scholarship
Recognising and encouraging agricultural excellence in the Riverine Plains region
The Hanrahan Family Scholarship (in memory of John Hanrahan)
for agriculture and agribusiness students
In 2018, the John Hanrahan Scholarship was established to recognise and encourage agricultural excellence in the Riverine Plains region.
The Scholarship is named in honour of John Hanrahan, a successful and experienced farmer and respected community member from Coreen, who passed away suddenly in 2014.
Through a generous donation made by the Hanrahan Family, Riverine Plains was able to establish the scholarship to honour John’s passion for farming, his thirst for knowledge, and his sense of community.
The 2023 Hanrahan Family Scholarship (in memory of John Hanrahan) will provide:
- a bursary of $5,000 for a student undertaking their second year of study in 2023 (paid in annual instalments over two years in 2023, 2024)
- access to work placement opportunities with Riverine Plains
- opportunities to network and gain knowledge, with free access to all Riverine Plains events
- personal mentoring by Riverine Plains staff
The scholarship is open to students from the Riverine Plains region who are undertaking their second year of a diploma or degree course in Agriculture, Agricultural Science or Agribusiness during 2023.
Applications for the scholarship will be open from 22 March to 22 June, 2023.
