Municipal Engineering Foundation Victoria is making scholarship awards available to engineers who are working within local government in Victoria. Up to four overseas study tour places are being offered and it is proposed that the four recipients will participate in a Victorian group focused tour. Nominations are now being invited for these scholarships.
MEF Victoria has formed the view that there are a number of important community issues regarding storm water and waste management, impact of climate change, and the planning and delivery of public works where the results of research overseas may significantly benefit the municipal engineering profession. The Foundation would welcome and give priority to nominations that address these important topics. This is not to exclude other study topics of choice that has been a successful feature of the program in the past and particularly if the topic is important and has specific application to municipal engineers.
These scholarships provide for the selected recipients to attend the APWA Congress in Boston, MA, USA from 15th to 18th August 2010 followed by a further two weeks study on an itinerary prepared by the study tour group that may include USA, UK and Europe. The Foundation will provide grants of $10,000 to each engineer selected.
Closing Date
The closing date for scholarships is Friday 5th February 2010 and applications are to be forwarded to the MEF Secretary by email to mefvic@ozemail.com.au.
