The Lisa Malone Scholarship
 This
scholarship pays tribute to the work of Lisa Malone, former
resident of Wodonga and student in Social Work at La Trobe University.
Lisa's life was devoted to helping people in need within Australia
and overseas. Her humanitarian work took her to Alice Springs where
she worked with handicapped aboriginal children and also to El Salvador,
Southern Mexico and Guatemala. Lisa was working with the United Nations
as part of an aid team providing education programs for Mayan people
when she and seven others died tragically in a helicopter crash in
1998.
La Trobe University, with the support of the Albury-Wodonga community,
The Border Mail and the Hume Building Society established the scholarship
to commemorate Lisa's life by recognising and supporting others who
are also dedicated to the highest humanitarian ideals. The Scholarship
provides $2000 for a year of study at La Trobe University.
