Teacher Scholarships
The Teacher Scholarships program is part of the provision for teacher professional learning under the ACT DET Teaching Staff Enterprise Agreement 2009 -2011 and the Professional Learning Guidelines, available on the Index intranet. The Teacher Scholarships program consists of two components: the Targeted Programs and Individual Scholarships. There is separate provision for principals through the ACT Principals' Association (ACTPA) and through distributions of funds to schools under the Principal Professional Learning Fund (PPLF). There are also separate study assistance provisions for ACT Government employees. Please refer to the A to Z listing on the DET intranet for details.
