Cameron Baird VC MG Scholarship
Status: CLOSED
On 22 October 2023, the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs, Hon Guy Barnett MP, announced 4 recipients for the Cameron Baird VC MG Memorial Scholarship for the 2024 school year. They are:
1. Franklin Legg – Hobart City High School
2. Gracelyn Lloyd – Hellyer College
3. Xander Power – Marist Regional College
4. Amy Willey – Tasman District School.
Due to the high calibre of responses, it was determined that 4 scholarships would be awarded, rather than the expected 2 scholarships. Congratulations to each of the recipients.
Applications for scholarships for the 2025 school year will open in mid-2024.
Corporal Cameron Baird VC MG was born in Burnie and joined the Army in January 2000. He was posted to the then 4th Battalion (Commando), Royal Australian Regiment, now the 2nd Commando Regiment. Corporal Baird was awarded Australia’s 100th Victoria Cross for the most conspicuous acts of valour, extreme devotion to duty and ultimate self-sacrifice during fighting in Afghanistan on 22 June 2013, as a Commando Team Commander in Special Operations Task Group.
Corporal Baird’s actions reflected his personal motto: ‘Aspire to Inspire’.
He was recognised as one of the most inspiring leaders within 2nd Commando Regiment, where he was chosen to be a leader for representing armed forces values, including toughness; leadership; initiative; and compassion.
