Network Ten Peter and Laura Perpetual Scholarship

Network Ten in association with Box Hill Institute offers three scholarships at Box Hill Institute in 2012. The scholarships honour two young employees of Network Ten, Laura Irwin and Peter Mastrogiannis, who sadly lost their lives in 2006.

Laura Irwin was an exceptional graduate from Box Hill Institute’s Broadcast Television, who, with her sister was tragically killed in January 2006. Laura initially worked at Network Ten as a trainee and became a valued and respected team member. Peter Mastrogiannis was also a respected Network Ten member who died shortly before the Irwin sisters. Peter's infectious enthusiasm for television epitomises the spirit of the Network Ten scholarship.

Laura and Peter were passionate and committed to their chosen careers. The recipients of the scholarships must be able to demonstrate their own passion and commitment to the television industry as they represent a living tribute to Laura and Peter's memories.
