The Alma Lily Stackhouse Scholarship is awarded annually in celebration of the life of Tasmanian Aboriginal Elder, Mrs Alma Stackhouse and her commitment to the education of young Aboriginal people.
A bursary of $3000 per year is to support a Year 10 Tasmanian Aboriginal student to complete Years 11 and 12. The applicant should originate from the Furneaux Islands or other remote areas of Tasmania.
The Premier, David Bartlett, together with the Aboriginal Education Unit sponsors the Alma Lily Stackhouse Scholarship as a legacy to Aunty Alma’s lifetime of work for the Aboriginal Community.
