Ararat College student Abigail Arch was awarded the Marrung Scholarship for demonstrating a high potential to succeed in her chosen pathway.
A selection panel, made up of representatives from the education department and Victorian Aboriginal Education Association Incorporated, chose Abigail based on her involvement in the Aboriginal community, her year-10 results, school reports, and references from school and community representatives.
One of 30 awarded across the state, the $5000 scholarship will support Abigail through years 11 and 12.
