Eric Pearson Study Grant

Originally called the Eric Pearson Memorial Travel Grant, the award was set up in memory of Eric Pearson, who died on June 8, 1977. Eric Pearson was President of the NSW Teachers Federation from 1974 to 1975.

The award provides financial support ($20,531 in 2012) to be used for travel, accommodation and expenses associated with the study. The maximum period of the award is 30 working days.

The recipient will document the results of their study and lodge them with Federation for the use of the union. Depending on circumstances, there may also be a requirement to provide a written report to the Department of Education and Communities.

The recipient is required to give an oral report to Annual Conference, as well as contribute article(s) as appropriate to Education.
