Cumming is moving back to Melbourne to play with the Dandenong Jayco Rangers in the Women's National Basketball League next season.

Cumming will also complete her bachelor of education degree at Monash and take part in the university's basketball program as part of a partnership between Monash and the Rangers.

Monash director of basketball and Rangers head coach Dale Waters said Cumming was the first Rangers player to be offered an AIS scholarship.

"It's fantastic that she has now gone full circle and is coming back home to Dandenong to not only play with the Rangers but to also study and train at Monash," he said.

Cumming has an impressive biography, having played in the WNBL at the age of 18, competed in six junior international games, and represented Australia in the 2006 Oceania Youth tournament in New Zealand.

Last week, she was named Basketball Australia 2008 female junior player of the year.
