to the annual budget established by the Board and dependent on suitable

administer this Scholarship.
Aim
The Aim of the Scholarship is to provide an opportunity each year
for a person(s) employed in facilities management with an institution
that is a member of TEFMA to undertake a study tour of other Australasian
institutions to improve their knowledge of contemporary facilities
management practices.

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

level.

The Scholarship
The Scholarship has a value of up to A$3,000 inc GST towards the
cost of the study tour. 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 the study tour is less than A$3,000,
the scholarship will be the actual costs incurred.
The successful applicant will be required to produce a written
report within 4 weeks of completing the study tour, giving an outline
of the information obtained and how the new knowledge will be applied
to the applicant's work. The report will be published in the TEFMA
newsletter.
Administration
A successful applicant is to make all necessary travel/visit arrangements.
The successful applicant's institution pays for all travel costs
and those other costs associated with the visit programme. The institution
then forwards a copy of the claim/appropriate invoices to the TEFMA
Treasurer for reimbursement of the TEFMA (Scholarship) contribution.
