National Council of Women Award

2012 Applications now sought.

This year's award was presented to Karina Sijabat, who is doing a B. Arts majoring in Government & International Relations concurrently with a M. Nursing.  We wish her well in her studies and her ambitions to meet the issues "surrounding poverty, large families and low access to healthcare".  Karina sees nursing as a practical and effective means of becoming involved.

Given in recognition of Women's Plans Foundation, the Award is presented annually at an Australia Day Luncheon.

Applications are sought from currently enrolled students with a demonstrated interest in reproductive health who have an understanding of the role of family planning in women's development in third world countries.  Applications close on November 25th, 2011, Friday.

Applications should include a 200 to 300 word account of the student's academic record, and an account of demonstrated interest in reproductive health and family planning as a component of women's development in developing countries. Applicants may also include a resume, outlining relevant professional experience, volunteer work or special need.  The application should be submitted electronically, as a Word doc or pdf.  Submissions should be emailed to oppenama@bigpond.com and sarah.brown@sydney.edu.au.

The Awardee will be selected by a panel of members comprising a staff member of the Sydney Nursing School at the University of Sydney, and an appointee of Women's Plans Foundation.  The panel's decision will be final.  The Foundation reserves the right not to give the Award if there is no applicant of sufficient merit or relevant area of study.
