NEWS - September, 2018

September 2018

Happy Autumn! Whether you found yourself hiking, biking, relaxing or exploring, we at The Foundation hope that you had an inspiring and joyful summer.

We are already preparing for a very busy upcoming year. The Education Award and Development Grant applications will soon be available, so if you're considering applying, please check out the Practice Applications available on the website. There have been a few changes to the regulations - see the article below for further details.

Foundation Night plans for the 2019 Annual Conference in Edinburgh are well underway. Hope you will be able to join us next March in beautiful Scotland!

Over the spring and summer, many clubs change officers. Are you receiving this edition of NEWS at your club's FAWCO Rep or President's address but you are no longer in that position? If things have changed hands in your club, please contact me at the email below and let me know who should be receiving the NEWS and at what email address. This is also a good time to update your Club Profile on the FAWCO website. Taking both of these measures will tremendously help us keep you up to date. We don't want anybody missing out on vital information!

Lastly, always remember: The FAWCO Foundation is YOUR Foundation. Please don't hesitate to contact anyone on the Board if you have ideas, recommendations or questions. We love to hear from you!

Best wishes for a wonderful year ahead!

Education Awards and Development Grants

The 2019 Education Award and Development Grant applications will soon be available, however, preliminary information is already on the Foundation website. This includes eligibility requirements and terms of study for EAs and nomination requirements for DGs.

There have been some changes to the requirements for the DGs and the Education Awards have been expanded! Please click here for further important details.

Do you have a child who might be interested in applying for an EA, a child or grandchild who is Dual Cultural, or are YOU interested in furthering your studies? Visit the Foundation website Education Awards page to see how you or a family member might qualify for an EA.

Has your club been supporting a charity over the last year or years that needs ongoing support? Are you interested in applying for a DG for a specific organization or project? Visit the Foundation website Development Grants page for further information regarding the DGs.
