Mark Lockyear Library and Information Scholarship

This scholarship is to celebrate Mark Lockyear, a man with a dry sense of humour, an enquiring mind and a rock star with a passion for Library Science. After being surrounded by libraries all his life Mark was embarking on an enthusiastic career change to Librarianship when his career was interrupted. He breathed fun and excitement into the team at Charles Sturt Library and shared that sense of integrity, fun and adventure with students and staff alike. With a passion for lifelong learning Mark always asked insightful questions and used every interaction with students and staff to develop his unique Library style and technique. This scholarship is generously funded by a private donor.

The Charles Sturt University Foundation Trust distributes more than 300 student scholarships every year. These scholarships are funded by individuals and organisations who strongly believe in supporting Charles Sturt University and its students.

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.

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