A Canberra teacher was awarded a scholarship last year. Perhaps another teacher could be successful this year.
For primary school teachers, starting a new school year is a great time to set goals and through the First State Super Teachers Scholarship we'd like to help you achieve them. The $10,000 scholarship we're offering through the Public Education Foundation Ltd provides early educators with the chance to invest in their own professional development. To apply, access the link to the online portal via the Foundation’s website – https://publiceducationfoundation.org.au/scholarships/teachers-scholarship/ - but hurry, applications close on Feb 26.
