Professor Hardie was appointed Dean of Education at the University of Tasmania in 1946 and remained there until his retirement in 1976. Following the death of Professor Hardie in 2002, a generous bequest of $7.5 million from his estate has enabled the establishment of a Hardie Fellowship Trust. This provides a number of teachers employed by the Department of Education, Tasmania with the opportunity to undertake a period of research or study at an approved university in the United States of America (USA) each year.
Guidelines [PDF 169KB], an Application Form [PDF 87KB] or Application Form [Word 229KB] and a Referee Report Template [Word 215KB] have been developed to assist permanent teachers of the Department of Education to apply for a Fellowship.
