More Donations To The Scholarship Fund Applications Now Being Received for 1947 Scholarship
THE Deed of Trust of the New Guinea Memorial Scholarship Trust Fund in augurated by the Melbourne New Guinea Women’s Association some months ago, has at last been drawn up and signed by the various trustees. It is a lengthy document and space consid erations do not permit its publication here. It can, however, be seen in its entirety at the offices of Pacific Publica tions Ltd., Union House, George Street.
Sydney, or obtained from the New Guinea Women’s Association in Melbourne.
Briefly, the conditions under which thc scholarship is awarded are that the suc cessful applicant must be the child of a European serviceman or civilian who lost his life in Papua or New Guinea as a result of enemy action. (Later, awards will be made from the children of ex-Servicemen and women residents of the Territories: and later still, from any children residing in the Territories.) The child must not be over the age of 14 years and 6 months at January 1 of the year for which the scholarship is awarded; and must have attended school in the State of Victoria for 12 months previously.
The scholarship is tenable for three years at any recognised secondary school and will be worth at least £3O per annum.
All details, entry forms etc., are ob tainable from the Secretary of the New Guinea Women’s Association, 7 Wilson
Street, Moonee Ponds, Victoria. It is understood that several applications have been lodged for the first scholar ship which will be awarded for the year beginning January 1, 1947.
In the meantime the Association is working hard for funds, and in this drive —particularly for the ball which was held on October 11—they have been assisted by members of the 2/22nd Bat talion Association. Many members of the 2/22nd also lost their lives in Rabaul, it will be remembered.
The Association would also like to place on record its appreciation of the work of Mr. Cyril E. Fyffe, formerly a solicitor of Rabaul and now a member of a Melbourne legal firm. He gave the Association, and particularly the Schol arship Committee, much help and advice and handled the large amount of legal work necessary in establishing the Fund. For this he refused to accept any fee.
