The New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation - 2010 Mammography Scholarships

Rouse Educational Trust
Shortly after the first Annual General Meeting of the New Zealand Society of Radiographers in 1959, a gift of 100 pounds was received from Mr Edgar Rouse who retired that year from the position of Chairman of Kodak, Australia.
Mr Rouse requested that his gift be applied to some aspect of education and the Society instituted a separate account bearing his name with a formal Deed of Trust in operation since 1962.
Accumulation of further monetary gifts, interest on investments and NZIMRT Capitation Fees brings the Trust to its current position. As well as supporting the continuing professional development of MRTs and RTs, the Trust also supports the K.C. Clark Memorial Orator at the NZIMRT Annual Conference and the attendance of the New Zealand ISRRT representative at ISRRT meetings.
NZIMRT Members
The Rouse Educational Trustees invite applications from MRTs and RTs who are undertaking all forms of continuing education, from conference attedances to formal educational programmes.
Applications are considered three times each year and completed applications (along with supporting documentation) must be in with the Rouse Educational Trust Secretary by 1st March, 1st July and 1st November.
