Gottstein Trust applications for 2010 awards

Gottstein Trust applications for 2010 awards
Applications are currently being called for the highly-prestigious Gottstein Memorial Trust Fellowships and Awards. The closing date for applications is 11 September.
The trust objective is to create opportunities for persons from Australia’s forest and forest products industries to enhance their knowledge.
Fellowships are awarded to assist persons from or associated with Australian forest industries to further their experience, education or training either within or outside Australia. Proposals are welcome from any area of the industries with an emphasis on value-adding. Candidates will be selected on the value of the project, and on their ability to carry it out and to disseminate the information acquired. There is no formal minimum educational requirement for Fellowship applicants.
Skill Advancement Awards help recognise the employment potential of persons working in the Australian forest industries and assists them, at whatever level, to improve their work skills. No formal qualifications are required. These Awards are for activities more limited in scope than the Fellowships and they take the form of a monetary grant.
Applications for each category will be considered by the Trustees and promising applicants will be selected for interviews in October 2009.
Further details may be obtained from the Trust’s website at www.gottsteintrust.org or from the Secretary from whom intending applicants may obtain forms.
The closing date for applications is 11 September 2009. Applications should be forwarded by this date to:
