Kate Edger Foundation - Dame Dorothy Winstone Doctoral Completion Award

The Kate Edger Foundation - Dame Dorothy Winstone Doctoral Completion Award was established in 2012 and is funded by the Kate Edger Foundation. The main purpose of the Award is to assist women graduates who have completed a minimum of three years of full-time study or six years of part-time study towards a PhD or named Doctorate, to have at least four months free of employment and to remain or become a full-time student, in order to make substantial progress towards completion of a PhD or named Doctorate qualification. The Award provides up to $16,000 each to support women doctoral students to complete their doctorate. The Award is intended for students studying full-time towards a qualification; however, the Trustees recognise that health conditions or impairments can limit a person's ability to study full-time and have extended the Award in 2023 to include part-time study on a case-by-case basis. Three awards are offered three times a year.
