The John and Marilyn Bate Scholarship in Recreation and Health Education was established in 2008 to support undergraduate students pursuing studies in recreation management and related fields. It honours the legacy of John and Marilyn Bate’s personal journeys as professional athletes and long-standing members of Victoria’s sports community.
John never forgot the early mentorship that changed his life. He was deeply committed to giving back to his profession and encouraging young facility managers. As we celebrate John’s life, we thank you for contributing to his memory by helping the next generation of leaders in his field.
