Are you a woman pursuing a career in a male dominated field? Why not apply for our annual scholarship

The annual “Breaking the Barriers” Scholarship supports women in male dominated fields. If you are one of these women, or identify as one, and are:

• a student, trainee or apprentice currently enrolled with a Registered Training Organisation in a recognised field of non-traditional trade;
• Residing or studying in the Hunter Region NSW (LGAs of Cessnock, Dungog, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Mid Coast, Muswellbrook, Mewcastle, Port Stephens, Singleton and Upperhunter);
• currently studying and have completed at least one (1) year of study in your current course, traineeship or apprenticeship.

the Women’s Network Hunter encourage you to submit an application.

Applicants are invited to discuss what the scholarship would mean to them as well as a bit about their experiences and aims in their selected industry.

Presentation of the Scholarship will offer a platform of recognition for our scholarship recepients and supporters at our annual Scholarship event.
