Medicinal chemistry student Dale Glennan was the inaugural recipient of the Casey-Lee Hull Memorial Scholarship.
The scholarship is awarded to an outstanding first year undergraduate student who received the highest ATAR after completing the In2Uni University Preparation Program.
"[Casey-Lee] worked very hard at her studies and committed herself to her learning, so for the uni to recognise she was a good scholar, a good student, who is worthy of a memorial scholarship, I feel very honoured and very proud," Casey-Lee's mother Vanessa Bourne said.
The year-12 student was in the middle of the In2Uni UPP program and her final year of school when she lost control of her Suzuki Swift which struck a tree in Shellharbour last July.
"Given that it's a memorial scholarship ... we hope that it will be somewhat of an extra boost for students to aim for, to emulate the qualities that Casey-Lee demonstrated, and just like Dale demonstrated," In2Uni program co-ordinator Shannon Archer said.
Mr Glennan hopes to become a doctor, and was grateful for the honour saying it would help pay for textbooks and other supplies.
"I was always interested in chemistry and medicine. I originally wanted to study astrophysics but part way through the HSC I became more interested in chemistry," he said.
