Aims
The North-Vic Construction Scholarship Program has been established to provide support for the completion of a tertiary qualification of future professional civil engineering staff. It is available to students undertaking the Bachelor of Civil Engineering course, or one of the Engineering double degree courses, at the Bendigo campus of La Trobe University.
Benefits
- financial support in the form of a $5,000 scholarship per year for the duration of the course,
- fully-paid vacation work experience during each year of the course ($6000 per year, approximate),
- access to career mentoring advice from North-Vic Constructions Pty Ltd Engineers.
Eligibility
Applicants must meet the following criteria
- be a full-time student in an undergraduate Civil Engineering course at the Bendigo campus of La Trobe University,
- have a strong academic background, and

The work experience placements and graduate positions would favour the suitability for working from our Kilmore (Vic) head office, and scholarship holders will need to exercise flexibility in moving to this location.
The Scholarship is tenable for the normal length of the course, subject to satisfactory academic performance and an annual interview. The successful applicant is committed to North-Vic Constructions Pty Ltd for a period equivalent to the scholarship support period from completion of their full time studies up to a period of two years.
