Elite school level rugby union players will be able to pursue their academic and sporting dreams with the assistance of a new University of Melbourne-Victorian Schools’ Rugby Union scholarship.

The University of Melbourne Young Achiever Award will be awarded from 2012 to one of the three best players in the Victorian Schools’ Rugby Union (VSRU) competition, as decided by the VSRU and the University. 

The education scholarship worth up to $5000 will be jointly funded by the University of Melbourne and the Melbourne University Rugby Football Club (MURFC) and is part of a broader ‘Education Partner’ agreement between the University and the new Super Rugby team the Melbourne Rebels.

For more information on the award, please contact MURFC President Simon Davis on 0408 999 847 (Mobile) or email via srdavis@bigpond.net.au
