[Scott Mooney]

Hi People,



It would be nice to see one of these scholarships go to our community! Sorry Australians only…

End of year funding grants are currently available to women who work in the science sector to support their participation in a professional development program.



Up to $5,000 scholarships available
The fee support opportunity provides a scholarship of up to $5,000 for women to take part in one of three leadership courses.

The grants have been provisioned for use by women right across the country, with a specific focus on the science sector, but must be allocated by the end of 2020. The programs are suitable for junior managers right through to executive level women.



How to register
At this stage, Expressions of Interest are being sourced until 4th December (unless allocated prior) via this link: https://www.wla.edu.au/stem.html


The initiative
For more than 16 years WLA has been developing female leadership and supporting the presence of women in business and community leadership roles through the Industry Partnership Framework. Prioritising women who work in the science sector has been a key component of our strategic impetus to date, particularly at the senior level within organisations.

The scholarships were originally meant to be allocated in March and April, however things got significantly delayed and disrupted due to COVID-19. This residual funding now needs to be awarded by the end of 2020.
