RACV Sir Edmund Memorial Scholarship

The RACV Sir Edmund Herring Memorial Scholarship aims to prevent road trauma and improve the quality of care delivered to road trauma victims.

The scholarship has been awarded annually since 1983 in memory of the late Sir Edmund Herring, a former Lieutenant Governor of Victoria and RACV Patron for 34 years.

Applicants must be health professionals who are Australian residents and work in the state of Victoria.

The successful candidate(s) receives up to $58,000 to undertake a project that will benefit the motoring public.

Previously funded projects include the trial of speech pathology tests to better identify high level communication problems in brain injury patients and the development of guidelines for returning to driving following a traumatic brain injury.

Applications for the 2016 Scholarship are now open and will close on Friday 6 May 2016
