Fogarty Foundation Scholarships

The Fogarty Foundation will provide six scholarships in 2023 to support students enrolled in and completing a postgraduate (either graduate certificate or masters) in Education specialising in either Learning Difficulties or Special Education. It is hoped these scholarships will enable teachers to upgrade their qualifications in the above respective areas and to build a cohort of specialisation and support throughout and after their studies. Students will be required on acceptance of the scholarship to engage in a program of events with expert educators, current topics of interest and to be part of the cohort of current and past Fogarty Foundation Scholars. Scholarships are a $5000 cash payment.
