Just a reminder that applications for the Old Melburnians Fellowship close at the end of June.

The aim of the Old Melburnians Fellowship is to provide young Old Melburnians with the support and encouragement to undertake travel, study and/or a project which provides a unique opportunity for self development and discovery that goes beyond the benefits offered by a higher education.

Furthermore it is hoped that Fellows will become ambassadors within the wider School community and in particular role models to students by participating in the School's emerging Leadership program upon completion of their Fellowship year.

The award is a cash grant of up to $10,000.

Further details and an Application Form are attached
