Scholarships

The International Women’s Day Illawarra Committee awards eight individual scholarships of $2,500 each to encourage women in our community, who might not otherwise have the opportunity, to expand their knowledge, skill and experience in a field of their interest or in which they have shown great potential.

Through the support of sponsors and attendees at the annual event, the IWD Illawarra Committee funds seven of the eight scholarships while the family of Gracie Wallis fund the scholarship named in her honour.

Applications for 2025 now open and will close on 5 February 2025.
