2017 Long Tan Bursary recipients announced

Thirty-seven students from across Australia will receive financial support towards their post-secondary education as recipients of a Long Tan Bursary.

The Long Tan Bursary honours the service and sacrifice of Australia’s Vietnam War veterans by providing financial support for their children to undertake post-secondary education.

Minister for Veterans’ Affairs Dan Tehan said recipients of the Long Tan Bursary would receive financial assistance of up to $12,000 over three years [DVA web site says $9000].

“Providing the children of our Vietnam veterans with educational support is just one way we continue to honour the service and sacrifice of the men and women who served our country in Vietnam,” Mr Tehan said.

“It is an honour to announce the 37 recipients of the 2017 Long Tan Bursaries and wish them the best of luck with their further study.

“Every Vietnam veteran can feel a measure of pride that these young Australians have received an incredible opportunity in recognition of their service.

“The sacrifices their parents made during the Vietnam War will never be forgotten or underestimated.”

Recipients of 2017 Long Tan Bursaries come from: Queensland (14); New South Wales (6); Victoria (6); Western Australia (5); South Australia (2); and, Northern Territory (2).

The Long Tan Bursary scheme is administered by the Australian Veterans’ Children Assistance Trust on behalf of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.

Applications for each academic year open on Vietnam Veterans’ Day, 18 August, and close on 31 October.
