Blair Milan Memorial Scholarship
Charles Sturt University
Blair Milan, talented actor, much loved son and brother, and incredible friend to so many, died on Sunday 17 April 2011. Blair's joyful life was suddenly cut short by Acute Myeloid Leukaemia. Blair's mother Lyndey and her partner, businessman John Caldon, united with family and friends and Blair's University to form The Blair Milan Fund to ensure his legacy lives on for years to come. Blair graduated as a Bachelor of Arts (Communication Theatre/Media) with Distinction in 2003. As Blair brought passion to everything he did it seems right to pass on his passion and enthusiasm to future students of Charles Sturt

How are applications assessed?
Applicants must read scholarship criteria carefully before applying as scholarships are awarded based on the criteria for each scholarship.
Successful applicants are selected after a series of shortlisting processes, including a review by Charles Sturt staff and donors.
From the final shortlist of strong applicants, it is up to the donor to determine the scholarship recipient(s). Sometimes this process will include donors interviewing the strongest candidates.
