Applications open for Victorian Women’s Governance Scholarships

Applications are now open for the Victorian Women’s Governance Scholarship Program, a Napthine Coalition Government initiative that strengthens the governance of not-for-profit boards by funding opportunities for women to expand their board skills.

The scholarship program is being run in partnership with the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) and it offers eligible women the chance to undertake, fee-free, the Institute’s ‘Company Directors Course’. Since the scholarship program started in 2012, more than 100 women of diverse backgrounds have undertaken the course, boosting their board skills and enhancing opportunities for networking with other emerging, women leaders.

 Applications close on Monday 18 August 2014 at 5 pm. For further information, visit: www.companydirectors.com.au/vicwomenscholarship.
