Adrian Geard was a much loved and admired member of the Lions Club of Westbury.
About 15 years ago, Adrian asked the club to support a scholarship in Nursing at UTAS, to encourage and support local students.
Adrian died after an accident in June 2017 and to honour his memory, the club renamed the award as the Adrian Geard Memorial Scholarship in Nursing.
The $2000 scholarship is for a 2nd or 3rd year nursing student enrolling in 2022, who is from the Westbury district or surrounds (postcodes 7291–7304).
Applications open soon and close in late October. Anyone interested in applying should look at the Scholarships page at UTAS – www.utas.edu.au.
The successful applicant is asked to speak at a Lions meeting about their experiences as a student nurse.
