Marjorie Propsting Scholarship

ALGWA offers an annual scholarship of $500.00 to a female student whose tertiary studies relate to an area of local government. It is currently awarded to an eligible student of Armidale University. The aim is to encourage women to become involved in local government and to perpetuate the memory of Marjorie Propsting, a woman who was definitely a leader and role model for women making a career in local government, or becoming an elected member of council.
