Fr F.V. Hefferan Bursary and Awards


The family of the late Rev Fr Francis Hefferan (Parish Priest of Nambour Catholic Church) set up a Benevolent Fund over two decades ago, specifically to reward young people for outstanding efforts in academia, the arts or other innovative pursuits and to encourage them to achieve their goals.

The Fund Committee that administers the Bursaries and Awards comprises representatives of community, schools and St Joseph's Parish.
​
Each year young people, between the ages of 15 and 25 years, throughout the Sunshine Coast are invited to apply for cash Bursaries and Awards.

Please encourage the young people who are high achievers in their fields of expertise to apply. The Committee would be grateful if you would contact any outstanding students who graduated in previous years, and may have moved on to further studies/achievements in their fields of excellence.

Applications forms and all relevant information are available via the links below. 

An application form and information page can also be emailed on request from St Joseph's Parish Office at stjoe.nambour@bne.catholic.net.au.

2023 is the 22nd year of these Bursaries and Awards during which time $159,300 has been distributed to 183 young people to acknowledge outstanding effort in pursuits as diverse as weight lifting, music, theatre and academic excellence.

For any further questions please contact the Parish office on 07 5441 1034 or email  stjoe.nambour@bne.catholic.net.au.
