NSW policy error costs father 1200 dollars for daughter’s ANU study
Mr C W Steel of Bega says he will pay about 1200 to have Marilyn study at the Australian National University this year after being misinformed by the NSW Education Department. He argues the federal act change and NSW restriction on Canberra scholarships forced the costly choice and reflects decentralisation goals. About 70 NSW scholarship students study at the ANU from outside the ACT.
