Applications for the scholarship were open to indigenous students of applied science (sport and sxercise science) or bachelor of health science (personal development, health and physical education) at the University of Western Sydney.
Todd Mackay originally came from Cowra.
He lives in Blacktown and previously went to Shelley Public School and to Mitchell High School.
Todd said that the scholarship would give him a great educational opportunity as well as a jump-start to his eventual sporting career.
“I was thrilled,'' Todd said.
“I didn't expect it and I was in shock when I was told the news.
“My mum and I are very relieved that I got this scholarship.''
The Minister for Gaming and Racing, Sport and Recreation, Kevin Greene, was at a presentation at the UWS Campbelltown campus last week.
Mr Greene said he was glad that the scholarship was awarded to a hard-working student from the west of Sydney.
“Todd was selected for his academic achievement and the excellent way he demonstrated how the scholarship will help with his career goals,'' Mr Greene said.
“He now has a chance to gain the knowledge and skills needed for a successful career in the sport and recreation industry. With the support he'll gain from experienced academics at the University, Todd can get access to opportunities to build skills and to establish careers and to provide leadership in his community.''
