Greetings from the School of Hotel, Resort and Tourism Management at Bond University. I am writing to ask for your assistance. As you may be aware, we are very fortunate due to the generosity of our industry partners to have six 100% Scholarships set aside for Indigenous students. These Scholarships cover tuition, books, accommodation and meals and are worth approximately $110,000 each. That is the good news; the bad news is that despite extensive advertising, we do not have a single application for January 2012. If you or someone you know can assist us in getting this information out, we would be most appreciative. The applicant will need to have completed a Year 12 Certificate, but they can be a mature student. Information about the Scholarships can be found on this website: http://www.bond.edu.au/degrees-and-courses/scholarships/australian-applicants/index.htm The application form is located online and can be found at https://apply.bond.edu.au/ As part of the online application, students can choose to apply for the IHG, the ILC, or the Accor Scholarship. The application deadline has been extended to Friday, 9 December. Please contact me if you should have any questions regarding these Scholarships. This initiative is very special for me, so I am very keen to find suitable applicants for this amazing opportunity. Many thanks for any assistance that you may be able to provide. Best wishes Professor Elizabeth Roberts Foundation Head of School School of Hotel, Resort and Tourism Management Associate Dean, Stakeholder Engagement Faculty of Business
