FedUni TAFE students have celebrated their hard work and commitment to study at two events at the Wimmera Campus.

Twelve students were gowned in academic regalia and presented with a letter of congratulations from Federation University Australia Chancellor, Mr Terry Moran AC and Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Helen Bartlett at a Completion Celebration.

Seven students received the Diploma of Nursing and three received the Certificate IV in Digital Media Technologies. The Certificate III in Screen and Media was awarded to one student and the Certificate I in Transition Education awarded to another.

A second event saw ten students awarded Foundation Scholarships to help them complete their studies.

The Foundation Scholarships are presented to students who are committed to their studies but are experiencing personal, financial or medical hardship.
