New Scholarship for Museum Studies Course

Yesterday afternoon Museums Australia were very pleased to attend a small ceremony to witness the handing over of a cheque from the Friends of the Musuem of Childhood. These funds will be used to establish a scholarship fund to allow one student each year to complete the Museum Studies Course at ECU.

The scholarship will be known as the Brian Shepherd Scholarship to recognise the work of former Director of ECU’s Museum of Childhood and Life Member of Museums Australia, Dr Brian Shepherd.
