This new scholarship was introduced in 2021 as a result of a very generous bequest from the Leckie Family which enables a five-year program of scholarships in the field of special care nursing.
The scholarship, valued at up to $10,000 per year, is for a nurse working at Grampians Health at the Ballarat Base Hospital in the special care nursery, looking after newborn babies requiring intensive support. The funds support additional training required for nurses specialising in this field.
