The value of a C.A.S. Hawker Scholarship can reach up to $60,000 over the course of three years. These are residential scholarships that were established as a means of paying tribute to the accomplishments of one of Australia’s most renowned pastoral pioneers. Charles Hawker was a veteran of World War I and went on to have a great academic career and become a prominent figure in the Federal Parliament before his untimely death in an aircraft accident aboard the Kyeema in 1938. His passing was a tragedy.

Through the establishment of a memorial scholarship, the memory of Kathleen Lilias Needham’s late brother, Charles Allan Seymour Hawker, who was born in South Australia, will be kept alive in perpetuity. The Charles Allan Seymour Hawker Memorial Scholarship Trust Fund was established by the late Kathleen Lilias Needham.

Although first-year undergraduates make up the majority of scholarship recipients, second-, third-, and even postgraduate students may also be considered. Those who are accepted into the program will be able to attend classes at Flinders University and live at St. Mark’s College in North Adelaide.

 

About the Scholarship Sponsor:

In 1960, people in the area gave the University of Adelaide about 300 acres of land, which was used to build a second campus in the suburb of Bedford Park. The possible size of the land is 150 acres. Because of this, Flinders University was made. After a year of planning and getting ready, construction began in 1962. When the Australian Labor Party (ALP) won state power in 1965, they used the money from the election to buy land in Bedford Park and build a university there. When they saw that they had been successful, they decided this was the best thing to do. Since July 1, 1966, when it welcomed its first class of students, Flinders University has been thought of as Australia’s best university. Matthew Flinders was a British explorer and geographer, and this area is named after him to honor his work. Before the University Act was passed in the United States, it was against the law for universities and colleges to exist. On that cold March day in 1966, only 400 students and 90 teachers came to class.

Prominent scholars Sir Mark Mitchell and Peter Karmel were the first people to live there full-time. This pair is the first Chancellor and Vice Chancellor of the university. The main campus and other campuses of Flinders University are all in great places in southern Australia. The main campus is in Bedford Park, which is about 12 km from the city center. On campus, students can study, work, and learn in places like computer labs, study rooms, a library, and public areas with free wireless internet. Both the baseball diamond and the softball field are easy to get to from the football field, volleyball court, and basketball court. In the middle of Adelaide’s business district, Victoria Square is a great place to study. The campus is the most important part of any school.There is also a branch of Flinders University in the South Australian city of Tonsley. The main campus of the University of Adelaide is in Canberra, but the school also has campuses in Melbourne and Darwin. It also has campuses all over the country, in different parts of the country. Flinders University has classes in many different areas, such as business, the arts, education, engineering, the health sciences, and public administration. Many colleges and universities around the world offer the chance to study abroad. Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia can all compete with China when it comes to the job market. This school is home to more than 26,000 students and 2,600 faculty and staff. These steps are being taken by the school to make sure it stays in the prestigious IRU (Innovative Research Universities) group (IRU)

 

The university has close ties with schools in Canada, China, the UK, and Germany. This means that graduates can apply to graduate programs in those countries. Some of the world’s most important people went to Flinders University. An Emmy award was given to Mario Andreacchio for his excellent work on TV. He has worked both in front of and behind the camera. He has been a producer and an actor. Alex Frayne’s photos and movies are getting him more and more attention. Noni Hazlehurst’s biggest success has been on the big screen, but she is also a talented director and pianist. She has won awards from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and the Australian Film Institute (AFI) (ARIA).

 

The Academy Award for Best Picture went to Shine, a movie about the life of singer David Helfgott that was directed by Scott Hicks. Hicks came up with the plan and was in charge of putting it into action. Hicks did a lot more than just write the script and direct the action for the movie. As the movie’s executive producer, he was in charge of making sure it was finished. As prime minister of Tonga, Hicks has done a great job. There is no doubt that Dr. Brendon Coventry’s groundbreaking work has made immunology and surgery better. The work he did to figure out the immunological cycle is very important. He was the only one who knew he had found it. Christopher Pearson is a well-known journalist, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that people like what he writes. Among many other things, he was the editor of “The Adelaide Review” and wrote speeches for the former Australian Prime Minister John Howard. Between his two jobs, he picked up a huge amount of knowledge.

Many people have given Sudesh Mishra awards for his writing. Also, the important faculty and alumni are brought to your attention. You can find a link to the online list of members on the main page. Because it is close to other big cities, Adelaide is a great place to start a weekend road trip. This area is known for its gentle hills and golden sand beaches. There is no good way to make such trips happen. The Global Liveability Study from 2016 says that it is one of the top five best places to live in the world. This outcome wasn’t a complete surprise. It has a low cost of living compared to other big cities around the world, which is why many international students choose to study there. Multiple sources say that the cost of living in Adelaide is 14% less than in other large Australian cities. Since the cost of living in Australia as a whole has gone down, students now have more money to spend on cheap tourist attractions.
