Mendelson scholarships

Scholarships are offered by the City of West Torrens through the Max and Bette Mendelson Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship Scheme. Max and Bette Mendelson lived at Seaton in the early 1990s. The couple did not have any children, so decided they wanted to establish an educational scholarship fund for local university students.

The number of Max and Bette Mendelson Foundation scholarships made available in any year and the annual value of the scholarships are determined by the City of West Torrens, acting on the advice of the Management Committee of the Max and Bette Mendelson Foundation.

Each year we determine the number and value of scholarships awarded on the advice of the Management Committee of the Max and Bette Mendelson Foundation.
