About this scholarship
This scholarship was established in 2021 by Alumni Friends Society, under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative. The naming of the scholarship recognises the work of all of the Book Group volunteers, past and present: Cairngorm is the name of the building that was the original St Lucia campus 'Book House' (the headquarters of the Book Fair and Alumni Friends teams), and Kurrajong is the name of the Long Pocket building which is the 'new home' for the Book Fair team.
