Community Bank awards rural scholarship to Nagambie’s Ada Winter-Irving

Ada Winter-Irving is Bendigo Bank Nagambie’s’ 2023 Rural Scholarship winner. The Nagambie local, who is studying a Bachelor of Agriculture at The University of Melbourne has a keen interest in broad acre farming and improving industry outcomes.

Ms Winter-Irving said “the scholarship will take a lot of financial pressure off me, allowing me to work less and focus on my studies.”

Ms Winter-Irving’s is passionate about returning to the Nagambie community once her studies are completed to provide consulting services to local mass-producing farmers to assist them to select the best genetically produced stock to provide maximum outputs from their stock and the land on which they graze.

Branch Manager Teri Johnson said she was always so excited to be able to be a part of these vital scholarships.

“Bendigo Bank Nagambie along with Community Bank Heathcote & District are always thrilled to be able to support our rural customers with ways that we can improve our rural way of life. I am so pleased that we have been able to award this scholarship to Ada so that she can bring a wealth of agriculture knowledge back into the community. It is through the support of our customers that we are able to offer scholarships like this and much more of our local communities.”

Applications for Community Bank Heathcote & District and Bendigo Bank Nagambie Tertiary Scholarships will open later this year for first time university or TAFE students. Follow Bendigo Bank Nagambie on Facebook or Instagram for announcements on opening dates.
