CaSPA 2025 Professional Learning Scholarship

Rationale

CaSPA will provide the opportunity for a member of an affiliated State or Territory Association with an opportunity to be involved in Professional Learning. It is hoped that through involvement in this program the Association member will have the opportunity to engage in professional learning that may otherwise not take place. This Scholarship gives witness to the social teachings of the Catholic Church by supporting those who are in need.

The rationale for the Professional Learning Scholarship is that CaSPA and its Corporate Partners are aware of the difficulties individual Principals can face particularly in rural, remote and low socio-economic contexts. 

Application Form is on the CaSPA website under “Awards”.

Criteria

The application for the Professional Learning Scholarship needs to address the following guiding principles:

Linked to educational and / or leadership professional learning.
