Funding for the award has been provided by a family member to commemorate the life of Aleksander Varga, a diligent and hardworking student who, tragically, was killed in a motor vehicle accident on 7 May, 2021.
An ANU Alumnus who graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Engineering in 2015, Aleks spent a lot of his life in Bendigo and was proud of his upbringing in regional Australia. His willingness to help others and the value he placed on community, together with his work ethic and tenacity positioned him as an 'all-rounder' amongst his family and peers.
The objective of the Award is to assist students from a similar background and enable them to study engineering at the ANU College of Engineering, Computing and Cybernetics. Awardees will demonstrate the same hard-working, "all-rounder" qualities and approach to life. Preference will be given to applicants from regional and rural backgrounds, for equity and financial need.
