Jacob and Charlotte Kahane Scholarship

This scholarship was created in memory of Jacob and Charlotte Kahane, with Charlotte being a former RMIT University student who graduated with a Diploma of Arts (Journalism) in 1978. The scholarship is designed to support students pursuing undergraduate studies in journalism, with preference given to students with a Jewish background, though students from non-Jewish backgrounds are also encouraged to apply. Charlotte Kahane was a well-known author and journalist who worked for the Australian Jewish News for 12 years and published articles in various international publications. Her published writing contributed significantly to Holocaust-related testimonies and accounts. The scholarship provides financial assistance to full-time students enrolled in the Bachelor of Communication (Journalism) program at RMIT University for the duration of their studies. Recipients must have at least one year remaining in their program and must not have previously completed a bachelor's degree or higher qualification.
