Brightwater is honoured to offer a number of scholarships aimed at improving the lives of people in our care.
The Brightwater Lyn Beazley Scholarship
This scholarship aims to help Brightwater investigate the science behind the regeneration that takes place in the brain as a direct consequence of the Oats Street acquired brain injury rehabilitation program.
The scholarship was established thanks to a donation from Professor Lyn Beazley after winning the Governor’s Award for Giving in 2012, combined with a donation from the Southern Districts Rotary Club.
The Don Hutchison Scholarship
Don Hutchison served on the Brightwater Board for 25 years, the last 13 as Chairman. In 2001, to honour his lasting and outstanding achievement, an annual scholarship was established in his name.
The scholarship is for staff members to conduct a project, research or further learning that will contribute to improved quality of life for our clients.
The Peter Lane Scholarship
The Peter Lane Scholarship was established in 2008 with a generous donation from the Lane family in memory of their son, Peter. Peter had an acquired neurological disability and lived at Brightwater prior to his death in 2004.
This scholarship is for a staff member/s to conduct a project, research or further learning to create opportunities that will improve the quality of life of Brightwater clients, and increase expertise in the delivery of specialised services to young people with neurological disability.
