About this scholarship
Established in 2024 and maintained by an endowment originating from a bequest from Dorothy Marsden, a French Teacher at Ipswich Girls’ Grammar School. Significant donations were also received from the family and friends of the late Emily John, former Honours student; from the French Teachers Branch of the Modern Language Teachers Association of Queensland; and further donors who acknowledged family, classmates, students, teachers and colleagues in French or simply donated to support future students.
