Rotary Postgraduate Scholarship
The Rotary USC Community Fund (RUSCCF) was established in 1996-97 and first awarded in 2001 by the combined Rotary Clubs of the Sunshine Coast. Rotary Postgraduate Scholarships are awarded annually to students who have completed their undergraduate degree at UniSC and have enrolled and commenced postgraduate studies at either the Master or Doctorate levels at UniSC.
The RUSCCF Committee is made up of representatives from 13 Rotary clubs from Caloundra to Noosa. Each club is encouraged to make an annual contribution to the Fund at the RUSCCF Annual Joint Meeting and Dinner. To date, the combined clubs have contributed more than $220,000 to the Fund and have awarded 71 scholarships to UniSC students.
The Scholarships are valued at $5,000 each and three scholarships are awarded each year.
