Holroyd Rangers player winner of McDonalds Football Scholarship

Congratulations to Cameron Nash from the U14/4 's who was successful with his application for a McDonalds Scholarship for 2009.

Cameron had to write about his football achievements, how the scholarship would help his football development and how the funds would be used. His application was forwarded to GDSFA where with others from the Granville district it was forwarded to Football NSW for consideration. From all districts across NSW, Football NSW then selected 32 recipients for the scholarship. Only two from the Granville District were successful applicants - Cameron being one of those.
Cameron has already allocated some of the money from the $500 grant towards a Football NSW soccer camp in the first week of the school holidays.

Junior Football Scholarships

McDonald’s and Football NSW are searching for the next rising junior football stars with the launch of $16,000 worth of Junior Football Scholarships.

Applications for McDonald’s Junior Football Scholarships are administered by Football NSW Associations with a panel of Football NSW High Performance Unit Officers selecting the winners.

The winners will be awarded to both talented players and those aiming to develop their football skills and ability.

Scholarships are awarded to players who have shown great improvement and have achieved significant honours in their football career or simply have aspirations to improve their game. Applicants are asked to explain how the scholarship will benefit them and to detail any recent success they have had on the field.

The scholarships are a reflection of the continued support for Junior Development that McDonald’s provide to Football NSW each year and are available to players aged between 10 and 17 years of age.

Applications for the scholarship grants are now open and will close on Friday 22nd May 2009.
