Mitchell Emeritus Club

The Emeritus Club formed in 1983 in the time of CSU's predecessor institution, Mitchell College of Advanced Education. The Club has continued its founding policy of offering membership to all retiring members of the academic, administrative and support staff of CSU. There are presently 153 members of the Club, and members contribute to the activities of the University through service as Esquire Bedel at Graduations, through assistance in consideration of University scholarship applications, and in presenting a scholarship in the name of the Emeritus Club at the Scholarships Presentation Day.

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.
