Annual Bursary Study Award
14 April 2014
In 1989 the Victorian Branch of the Australian Local Government Women’s Association established an Annual Study Award to encourage and assist women in the Local Government sector in furthering their education.
The Award is given in memory of past State and National President of ALGWA Marie Wallace OAM JP. Marie devoted many years of service to the Association and was an advocate for women’s participation in Local Government, not only as elected members, but in the many career opportunities presented.
The applicant must be currently studying at a Diploma level or higher, at a recognised tertiary institution, on a part time or external basis, and must demonstrate an ability to make a positive contribution to their area of employment and to their employer through further tertiary study. The studies undertaken must be directly related to the applicant’s field of employment.
The 2013 winner was Marie Downie of Baw Baw Shire. Details of the 2014 nomination procedure, along with a list of previous winners can be found in our ‘About us‘ section.
