Dimeo - Craig Dukes First Nations Scholarship

Dimeo Indigenous is a Supply Nation certified Indigenous owned and controlled joint venture between Craig Dukes and Dimeo Cleaning Services. The company was formed as part of a natural extension of Dimeo Cleaning Service’s Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) commitments, to provide benefits to Indigenous communities. After the passing of Craig’s passing in 2022, Dimeo created the Dimeo-Craig Dukes First Nations Scholarship in recognition of his long involvement in the Aboriginal community in the Australian Capital Territory , his work at local, state and national level, and his dedication to First Nations peoples.

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

How will my scholarship be paid?

Most scholarships valued at $5000 or less are paid in full, unless otherwise specified. Check the scholarship webpage for payment details.

Ongoing scholarship payments are subject to you maintaining satisfactory academic progress and continued enrolment in your course. If these conditions are not met, scholarships may be suspended or terminated.
