Eileen M Johnson Boarding Scholarship - Rev James Phillips Boarding Scholarship
Eileen M Johnson Boarding Scholarship
The Eileen M Johnson Boarding Scholarship was established by an Old Boy in memory of his late mother. This Old Boy went on to be a successful businessman and a leader in his industry.
His family was based in regional NSW and it was his mother who was keen to see her son well educated. After seeing first-hand the leadership and accomplishments of Old Newingtonians in their regional area, she insisted her son attend Newington as a boarder.
The Eileen M Johnson Boarding means tested Scholarship extends for every year of the recipient’s secondary education, subject to the boy achieving satisfactory standards and acceptable outcomes during each year the Scholarship is awarded.
