Dorothy L Newman Scholarship

The Dorothy L Newman Scholarship assists people who have been diagnosed as having MS and as a result are unable to continue in their present employment, who need to change their employment and undergo a course of retraining in order to do so.

$15,000 is available for distribution and two applicants will be eligible for up to $7,500 each payable for their course fees for three years of study. Applications are open solely to people with MS needing to retrain for paid employment.

Applicants will be required to explain in a statement in their application the reasons why they chose their course of study, how they intend to use their qualification on successful completion of their course and the likelihood of employment following the course.

Applications for the Dorothy Newman Scholarship fund for this year (2012 academic year) have now closed and we have selected the winners.

Applications for the 2012 scholarships (for the 2013 academic year) will be advertised in July 2012.

Applications close 30th September 2012.
