The Tony Adams Fund: Making a Difference in International Education

The International Education Association of Australia (IEAA) is offering its first grants for staff and academics in international education through the Tony Adams Fund.  The Tony Adams Fund will make annual financial grants available to professionals and students in the field who wish to pursue professional development activity or international education research.  Applications are open to individuals from Australia as well as those overseas and applicants do not have to be members of the IEAA.  Grant funds may be used for the following:

Professional Development
These grants are open to staff who wish to pursue professional development activity related to international education. Individual grants are available for up to AUD$1,500.

Research in International Education
Research grants are available to those undertaking research in international education. Grants are available for up to AUD$3,000 for research projects; and AUD$1,500 for each year of a doctoral study (up to three years)

More information about The Tony Adams fund is available at http://www.ieaa.org.au/tonyadamsfund.

I didn't know Tony very well but have met, dined and e-mailed back and forth with him about research matters in the past and was deeply saddened when he suddenly passed away a little over a year ago. The field lost a great leader and I think it is great that the IEAA is honoring Tony in this way!

    I think it’s brilliant his memory is being honored in this way. It’s really what he would have wanted, from what little I knew of him.
