About Us
We are a group of graduate women committed to providing postgraduate opportunities for study and research to women by the provision of Fellowships. Fellowships Fund Inc (FFI) is a branch of Graduate Women Qld www.gwq.org.au (formerly AFUWQ) that was separately incorporated in 1983 specifically to raise funds and administer the Programme. Our Fellowships are funded primarily from the profits raised from our Academic Dress Hire Service (ADHS) together with income from investment built up over many years. FFI provides several one-year and one three-year Fellowships each year. In addition, we are committed to fund the Margaret Peel Award which is a half-time Postdoctoral Research Fellowship for Women at The University of Queensland over three years 2011-2013.ADHS is the wholly owned and operated business arm of FFI that provides academic dress hire and regalia needs for graduates all over the world. It hires regalia to students and staff at The University of Queensland for Graduation and other ceremonies, students and staff at other institutions and to individuals. It also sells new legal and both new and secondhand academic regalia. All profits from this operation are used to fund Fellowships. Information on ADHS is available on the website www.academicdress.com.au
