Rosemary Richards Scholarship
Call for 2020
nominations for the Rosemary Richards Scholarship
Rosemary Richards
was a proud feminist, unionist and educator. A trailblazing leader, she was
committed to advancing gender equality across the AEU.
In her memory, the
Rosemary Richards Scholarship continues her legacy by building the capacity of
women as activist and leaders.
This is an
opportunity for an AEU woman member with an idea for an innovative project,
research or study experience that will increase her skills and experience in
the union’s work at state/territory, national or international level. By
extension, it should also support the AEU’s women members.
The Scholarship is
valued at $10,000 and is intended to cover all project expenses including, but
not limited to; travel, attendance at conferences, workplace visits, training
and developmental opportunities, work-shadowing, research, project design and
implementation.
All women AEU
Branch or Associated Body members are strongly encouraged to apply. Contact your
local Women’s Officer for more information.
For more
information please see the guidelines.
Applications should be submitted using the attached form. Applications
must be received by Friday 1st May 2020.
