APPLICATIONS
have opened for the CDF’s scholarship, awarded each year to an
ADF member to undertake postgraduate research.
The scholarship may be awarded to any permanent member of the
ADF who can demonstrate the ability to research and produce a
paper at an advanced level, in a field relevant to the needs of
Defence.
The scholarship provides the benefits of 12 months’ full-time
postgraduate study on full salary, including an allowance of up
to $15,000 for related travel, accommodation and administrative
expenses within Australia or overseas to conduct field research.
Previous scholarship winners have pursued research in Defence-related
topics such as strategy, security, information operations, enterprise
architecture and network-centric warfare.
The Defence Personnel Executive, through the Directorate of Leadership
Development, manages the scholarship scheme. Prospective applicants
for the scholarship scheme are to provide workplace recommendations
of their suitability and availability, including details of prospective
employment following successful completion of the scholarship.
Applications close on May 27. A selection panel will review the
applications and provide their respective recommendations to the
CDF and Secretary around mid-2005. The successful applicant will
be awarded their scholarship for the next academic year.
