Bellmaine Scholarship

Established in 1998, the Bellmaine Travel Scholarship was created through a generous bequest to UniSQ by Mr (Oliver) Keith Bellmaine (1910-2001), a long-term patron and friend to the University. Keith and his late wife Beryl (dec. 1992), were generous supporters of the University for many years and left several wonderful legacies. Mr Bellmaine had a strong interest in the French culture, and his intent was to encourage friendship, communication and connection between Australia and France through education.
