WOMEN IN RECREATIONAL FISHING LEADERSHIP PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIPS 2019

Are you a woman who’s passionate about fishing and wants to develop your leadership skills? You should apply for one of our Women in Recreational Fishing Leadership Scholarships!

Some of the women from last year's scholarship program have achieved amazing outcomes in increasing and inspiring female participation in fishing.

Focused on unearthing tomorrow’s female fishing leaders, this scholarship program offers eight women the chance to attend the Australian Fishing Trade Association (AFTA) Gala Awards on the Gold Coast and contribute their voices to the future of the industry.

To apply for the leadership program, entrants need to:

Be over 18 years of age,
Victorian resident,
Be available to attend the AFTA Conference and Gala Dinner (on the Gold Coast) on 15-17 August.
