Stephen Ward Scholarship

The Stephen Ward Scholarship is made available to at least one employee from each of the AR Bluett Memorial Award-winning councils. The Scholarship (worth up to $2,500) is for the selected employees to undertake further study, professional development or research.

Stephen Ward was the Shires Association President from 1991-93. Tragically, he was killed in a plane crash in June 1993 while returning from a major local government forum.

Funds for the Stephen Ward Scholarship are raised from contributions from council, government agencies, professional associations, LGNSW, and individuals.
