Murrumbidgee Has Community Grants and Education Scholarships Up For Grabs

Murrumbidgee Council’s annual community funding program is now open with grants available for community groups and scholarships for tertiary students.

Mayor Ruth McRae said the Council had three grant programs and a scholarship program that injected $45,000 into the community.

“The scholarships are valued at $1,000 each and are open to students enrolled in a tertiary course (university, TAFE or another training provider) who have their home address in the Murrumbidgee Council area,” Mayor McRae said.

The grants are funded by Murrumbidgee Council, Neoen Coleambally Solar Farm and the former Darlington Point Lions Club.

They are available to organisations located in or servicing the Murrumbidgee Council area.

Mayor McRae said they had funded some outstanding projects in the past years and were looking forward to seeing some great ones again this year.

Organisations across the Council area who meet the funding criteria are eligible to apply for the Murrumbidgee Council and Coleambally Solar Farm grants.

The Lions Club grant is only available to Darlington Point community groups and individuals.

Applications and guidelines are available from the Council’s website or any of the Council offices.

Applications remain open until 12 noon on Friday, March 15.
