Ryan Margetts Memorial Scholarship

The Ryan Margetts Memorial Scholarship is a $1,000 award for students enrolled in Certificate or Diploma level TAFE programs at Federation University's Wimmera campus. The scholarship is designed to support local people who are active volunteers within the Wimmera region and aims to develop local talent to work on community opportunities within the Wimmera district. Applicants must demonstrate community involvement through current volunteering or leadership activities in local community groups and provide a written reference from their volunteer organization. The scholarship honors Ryan James Margetts, who was known for his compassionate nature, strong work ethic, and dedication to community. Generously provided by the Margetts family, the scholarship was first awarded in 2019 and supports both new and continuing students who embody Ryan's spirit of service to the local community.
