Opportunity to showcase your talented leaders

Each Head of Student Administration or equivalent is invited to nominate a future leader for a scholarship to attend the HoSA 2019 Conference. Self-nominations from eligible people will also be accepted, so pass it on too.

Nominating for a scholarship is an important opportunity for you to give your up and coming leaders exposure - to network across the sector, to reflect on key current issues for higher education management, and to bring new ideas and perspectives to our conference proceedings. 

Hurry, though: time is short.  Your nomination must be made by 29 July. Fortunately, it is quick and easy for you to do – details are below.

Scholarship Benefits

HoSA fosters collaboration and developmental opportunities for emerging leaders in the Australian and New Zealand Student Administration field through these scholarships.  

Your nomination affirms and endorses the development trajectory of a future leader from your institution.  

The Future Leaders Scholarship covers the full conference registration, travel and accommodation in Wellington, to a value of AU$2,500.  

Recipients will be invited to lunch with HOSA Board members and the conference team on Wednesday 28 August, first day of the conference, to discuss how they can get best value from the HOSA network and from the conference. There is no requirement to present at the conference itself.

After the conference, scholarship recipients will write a short reflective piece (approximately 500 words) which will be published in the ATEM weekend newsletter. 

Scholarship Conditions
