A Scholarship Fund to provide up to $20,000 annually in training and education opportunities for people working in the Not for Profit sector across Australia and New Zealand has been launched.

The scholarship has been funded by software solutions group Advanced Solutions International and is called the ASI ‘SMART Company’ Scholarship Fund .

There are also grants – open funding – to attend conferences and other training opportunities.

ASI Managing Director Paul Ramsbottom says study must be directly relevant to individuals’ work in the NFP sector.

Ramsbottom says the scholarship is a practical way of helping to support NFPs to become smarter and more effective.

In order to be eligible to receive scholarships, applicants must be Australian or New Zealand citizens or have permanent residency status and be full time employees.

For selected scholarships, applicants must be full time employees of organisations that are ASI customers who are current with their annual Software Update Plan.
