A new opportunity is emerging for women in the Australian Church.

The scholarship is a collaborative initiative established by a number of women religious congregations in Australia, including the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, Dominican Sisters, Ursuline Sisters, Sisters of Mercy ISMAPNG, Sisters of Mercy Parramatta, and Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart. Together, these congregations are committed to building capacity within the Church by supporting women to undertake studies in Canon Law.

Expressions of Interest are now open. Candidates may come from a variety of backgrounds, including theology, ministry, education, leadership, governance, law, Church administration, and community service.
