Ongoing support for Shoalhaven Education Fund

Over the past four years, the Shoalhaven Ex Services Group (SESG) has donated $17,500 to the local group Shoalhaven Education Fund (SEF), that provides financial assistance to young students, empowering them to pursue their career aspirations after high school.

SESG CEO Bernie Brown recently took the opportunity to meet SEF grant recipients and hear how the funding will help towards their further education, at the recent scholarship presentation.

“SEF is a fantastic local community group helping young people at the start of their careers and we’re thrilled to be involved via our ClubsGrant scheme,” said Mr Brown.

The SEF provides much-needed financial assistance and support to local youth to help them achieve education, training, and vocation aspirations after high school, because the cost of regional students pursuing education is often much greater than their metropolitan counterparts.

SEF supports a diverse range of education and career pursuits including apprenticeships, traineeships, cadetships, degrees, diplomas and certificate-level studies or entry careers, by reimbursing the student for a pre-agreed expense or paying the goods and services providers directly.
