Introducing the NRL Community Team of the year, presented by , which recognised the efforts of an NRL player who has not only achieved on the field, but has committed time off the field to community projects.

The Lotte Weiss Foundation were delighted to announce Lachlan Master’s as the 2024 Lotte Weiss Scholarship recipient earlier this week at the Sydney Jewish Museum. Lachlan, a proud Wiriadjuri man with aspirations of becoming a doctor, started a Bachelor’s of Sports Science at the University of Newcastle this year chasing that very dream. After joining the NRL School to Work Program in 2022, Lachlan has taken every opportunity with both hands and this scholarship was no different.

The Lotte Weiss Scholarship is funded by brothers Gary and Johnny Weiss who both have a passion for supporting First Nations communities and this scholarship is one of many initiatives that they are involved with. The scholarship totalling $10,000 and is awarded to a first-year university student who is a part of the NRL School to Work Program to support them as they transition into tertiary education.

This is the third year of the Lotte Weiss Scholarship with the calibre of applications continuing to grow each year. Lachlan was selected based on his outstanding academic achievements, community engagement and desire to positively impact the wider community.

“I am extremely humbled and grateful to be selected as this year’s recipient and through this process I have come to learn so much about Lotte and her story which has inspired me beyond words – I will be sure to carry on her positive attitude and mindset as I continue with my studies” – Lachlan Masters 🙌🏽
