TEFMA / CURRIE & BROWN CONFERENCE SCHOLARSHIP
General
TEFMA has established a Conference Scholarship for first line supervisors
(HEW6 and below in Australia and equivalent in other countries)
in facilities organisations. The intention is that the scholarship/s
be awarded annually; however, this will be subject to the annual
budget established by the Board, and dependent on suitable applications
being received. The TEFMA Education Committee is to administer these
Scholarships.
Aim
The Aim of the Scholarship is to provide an opportunity each year
for a person(s) employed in facilities management with an institution
which is a member of TEFMA to attend the annual TEFMA conference
and where practicable, visit other Australasian institutions in
the location to improve their knowledge of contemporary facilities
management practices.

year for each scholarship.
- Scholarships will normally be granted to an individual only
once.

host Institutional member is to arrange for the candidate to become
a member of TEFMA.
- Candidates must have a minimum of two years experience within
a Facilities environment.
- Candidates must be first line Supervisors (approximately HEW6)
in the facilities management department.
- Scholarship applicants may be required to undertake an interview.

The Scholarship |

The scholarship has a value of up to AUD$3,000 incl. GST towards the cost
of attending the conference. The successful applicant will need support from
their institution for both the time to undertake the study tour and the
contribution to any costs in excess of the scholarship amount. Where the
total cost of attending the conference is less than AUD$3,000 incl. GST, the
scholarship will be the actual costs incurred.
The successful applicant will be required to produce a written report
within 4 weeks of the Conference giving an outline of how the experience
gained at the Conference and other institutions might benefit the
applicant's work. The report will be published in the TEFMA newsletter.
