At the intersection of strategy, practice, and leadership stands the Library Board of Victoria’s Scholarship Program. These scholarships are more than funding or research — they’re platforms for influence.
Through the Margery C Ramsay and Barrett Reid Scholarships, State Library Victoria supports public library professionals to grow into leaders who shape change across the sector and beyond.
Applications are now open for the 2025 Barrett Reid Scholarship.
If you’re working on an idea that connects local insight to sector transformation, we want to hear from you.
Each project is a collaboration — initiated by an individual, supported by their local library, and funded and amplified through the scholarship.
Applications close 30 May 2025.
The scholarship application form can be found here: https://forms.office.com/r/JkBUmt1TAY
If you have questions or would like to talk through your idea, we warmly welcome you to get in touch at [email protected].
Previous applicants and finalists are encouraged to reapply.
