MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING FOUNDATION VICTORIA – 2013 OVERSEAS STUDY TOUR SCHOLARSHIPS
MEF Victoria is making overseas study tour scholarship awards available to engineers who are working within local government in Victoria to participate in a Victorian group focused tour during 2013.
Nominations are now being invited for these scholarships.
MEF Victoria has formed the view that there are a number of important community issues regarding project management, 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 Chicago, IL, USA from 25th to 28th August followed by a further two weeks study on an itinerary prepared by the study tour group that may include USA, Canada and UK. The Foundation will provide grants of $10,000 to each engineer selected.
Closing Date
The closing date for scholarships is Friday 25th January 2013 and applications are to be forwarded to the MEF Secretary by email to mefvic@ozemail.com.au.
