NTEU Scholarships 2021 – Call for applications

Applications are open for the annual Carolyn Allport and Joan Hardy scholarships. The deadline is Friday 30 July 2021, with a decision to be made in late August 2021.

The Carolyn Allport Scholarship for Postgraduate Feminist Studies by Research is open to a student undertaking postgraduate feminist studies, by research, in any discipline. It awards $5000 per year for a maximum of 3 years. Applicants must be currently enrolled in postgraduate studies, by research, in an academic award of an Australian public university.

The scholarship recognises Dr Carolyn Allport’s leadership and development of the Union as National President from 1994-2010.

The Joan Hardy Scholarship for Postgraduate Nursing Research is available for any student undertaking a study of nurses, nursing culture or practices, or historical aspects of nursing as a lay or professional practice. The student need not be a nurse and can be undertaking the study in disciplines/schools other than nursing. A sum of $5000 will be paid in two instalments; half on the awarding and half on submission of their thesis. Applicants must be currently enrolled in an academic award of an Australian public university, and expect to submit the thesis within one year.

This scholarship recognises the contribution the late Joan Hardy made to higher education and unionism in over 30 years of activism.
