From Nymagee and Nyngan to Coonamble, three Western Plains students building their skills and keeping their careers in the bush thanks to the RAS Foundation’s 2025 Rural Scholarships.

Nymagee’s Laura Harley, Coonamble’s Mackenzie Andriske and Nyngan’s Rebecca Nott are part of a cohort of 80 rural students across NSW and the ACT sharing in more than $5.4 million in support to help ease the financial pressures of higher education.
