'City of Mandurah' A$5,000 scholarship

Applications are invited for the City of Mandurah Convention scholarship which is open to those  involved with not-for-profit associations across a variety of industry sectors.

 It is designed to assist in personal and professional development, either through attendance at a relevant international conference, or by undertaking further study in their chosen field of endeavour.

 It is offered under the Perth Convention Bureau’s ‘Aspire Program’ - the new umbrella term and sub-brand for this highly-successful initiative (previously called the ‘Scholarships and Awards’ program), which has been operating since 1999.

 In 2012, the Aspire Program – which also embraces several ‘Professional Development Awards’ for five Perth universities - will see nine awards and two scholarships worth a total of $60,000 presented to individuals involved with the State’s academic and not-for-profit sectors.

 Since its inception, the Aspire Program has generated convention business worth more than $80 million in direct delegate expenditure to the Western Australian economy.
