The NSW Chapter of the Australian Association for Environmental Education (AAEE NSW) invites applications for the 2023 Brian Foreman Scholarship.

About the 2023 Scholarship

The Brian Foreman Scholarship was created to assist a member of the association to travel and attend the biennial conference. Brian Foreman was a founding member of the Association in 1980 and his work in South Australia is legendary. This award is in recognition of Brian’s contribution to environmental education in general and to AAEE in particular. Read Brian’s Story.

In 2023 it is intended that this scholarship will provide an AAEE financial member who is an environmental educator or a student in a related field with financial assistance (up to $900) to attend the AAEE Biennial National Conference in Wollongong Sept 25-27, 2023. The successful applicant will be invited to speak at the conference.
