NESLI HEIA scholarship opportunities extended due to insufficient applications being received (so you are in with a real chance!)

The closing date for expressions of interest for scholarships for Women & Leadership Australia’s Advanced Leadership Program has been extended to Friday 18 May 2018. This extension has been granted to encourage more HEIA (female) members to apply. There are nine full and partial scholarships available for HEIA members. That is, these nine scholarships have been secured just for HEIA members and no-one else is eligible for these nine awards. Currently only a few applications have been received and NESLI is very keen that the quota of scholarships is reached. Apparently the application is quite easy and does not take long to complete. Members from all Divisions are urged to apply. The recipients will be announced at the HEIA(Q) state conference on Saturday 18 August. However, if a recipient cannot make it to the conference, they will still receive the scholarship. HEIA urges you to take up this opportunity to strengthen your professionalism and future. More information is available at http://www.nesli.org/heia.html where you can complete your details to register your interest and receive the application form.
