Queensland Memorial Scholarship Fund
THE Queensland New Guinea Women’s Association decided last year to work for a Memorial Scholarship similar to that available in Victoria. The Deeds of Trust have now been signed and trus tees —Mrs. R. Kendall and Mr. Ernest Slee, both of Brisbane —appointed.
Scholarships are to be issued in Queens land under almost similar conditions as those attached to the Victorian Memorial Scholarship—that is, they are available, in the first instance, to children of former residents of New Guinea who lost their lives due to enemy action, such children having been attending, a school in Queens land for the previous 12 months.
There is one clause, however, that is different: Provision is made for the dis posal of the balance of the trust fund when candidates for the scholarship are no longer available in Queensland —they will be paid into the New Guinea Memorial Scholarship Trust Fund in Melbourne.
Donations to the New Guinea Memorial Scholarship Fund (Qld. Division) have been as follows: —
