Hello folks, This note is to let you know that the ACAS/Coca-Cola Regional Scholarships will be available in 2010 and to provide you with a link to the website www.acas.asn.au/coca-cola where it is possible to lodge an on line entry or download a hard copy entry form.
In the past five years more than 150 young people from rural and regional Australia have benefited from this program and all of them have been active contributing members of their local agricultural society. Indeed the availability of the scholarships provides an incentive for membership of agricultural societies.
