The Morey Scholarship
I believe a strong focus on education is the single most important long-term answer to many of the problems encountered by Australia’s indigenous population.
Once I was elected to the Senate I looked at the feasibility of establishing a tertiary scholarship for an indigenous woman. I’m delighted that the Torres Strait Regional Authority accepted my offer to add a fourth scholarship to the three they already offer annually.
The TSRA Scholarships are available to Torres Strait islanders to assist with tertiary studies provided the recipients undertake to return to the Strait to work and live at the end of their degree.
The Morey Scholarship is open to any Torres Strait islander woman on the same criteria and conditions.
The name acknowledges my late paternal great-grandfather, Frederick E Morey, who owned and operated pearling luggers based at Thursday Island before World War II.
The recipient for 2010 is Ms Tailisa Yusia of Bamaga, Northern Peninsula Area. Ms Yusia is in her final year of studies for a Bachelor of Community Welfare and Bachelor of Business at James Cook University.
