text: 2015 Rosemary Richards Scholarship - Australian Education Union ACT
  Application for Rosemary Richards Scholarship Extended
  Posted by Moira Cully 149sc on July 13, 2015
  Women members are invited to apply for the 2015 Rosemary Richards Scholarship by Friday July 17.
  Please note the extension of deadline for applications to Friday July 17.
  Rosemary Richards was a proud feminist, unionist and educator. This scholarship, now in its ninth year, is in recognition of the significant contribution that Rosemary made to the AEU as an organisation and to all its members, women in particular. Across the AEU, women's employment rights and women's union participation have been steadily advanced due to an active, committed and predominantly female membership, but challenges still remain.
  The scholarship, valued at $10,000 per year, aims to provide the opportunity to a woman member to increase her skills and experience in the union's work at a state/territory/national or international level by supporting the recipient's proposal which may include (but is not limited to):
  The establishment of a work-shadowing arrangement or a mentoring arrangement;
  Research or study experiences;
  Formal and/or informal training and development opportunities (e.g. attendance at an appropriate conference); or
  Nominations are due by Friday 17th July. Download a nomination form.
