background

Procurement Australia in 2015 celebrated thirty years of the company’s inception. To honour and benchmark this milestone and create a lasting legacy the Procurement Australia Scholarship was created to recognise and reward high achieving individuals by funding a scholarship to study, take a secondment, research or develop a paper that adds value and insights for their sector.

The Procurement Australia Scholarship will be known as the Paul Everitt Procurement Australia Scholarship, named in memory of Paul Everitt a former staff member of Procurement Australia, and a passionate, driven procurement executive, who tragically lost his life in October 2015. Paul himself believed in training and study and was undertaking a three year procurement study course with CIPS at the time of his death. Procurement Australia has set aside the sum of $10,000 per year to award as a scholarship.

The scholarship can be used for the development of a paper, overseas study or secondment, by an individual, a group or even a team.

You (or your team) can choose a category of their choice and outline the methodology of study specifics and outcomes relevant to procurement.
