Charlie Bell Scholarship

About Charlie Bell

The late Charlie Bell was the first Australian Global CEO of McDonald’s. After passing away following a courageous battle with cancer, Charlie left a wonderful legacy that allows young people who have experienced serious illness to get their life back on track and follow their dreams.

This has allowed RMHC to award one-off grants of up to $5,000 to deserving young people, to contribute to university fees, apprenticeship tools, books or supplies, to set them up to succeed.
