Director-General's Senior Public Service Excellence Bursary

The Director-General's Senior Public Service Excellence Bursary is a scholarship available as part of the Public Sector Professional Excellence initiative.

The bursary recognises exemplary practice by senior public servants (classified at either AO8, SO) in the Department of Education, Training and Employment (DETE) and has been jointly funded by a substantial donation from the Queensland Institute of Senior Education Officers (QISEO) and DETE.

Two officers annually will receive a bursary up to the value of $10,000 to undertake study/travel (of their choice) to further their knowledge and skills in a field directly connected to the delivery of educational programs and services.

Selection of bursary winners is based on the following or similar criteria:

the focus of the proposed study/travel and its connection to the delivery of educational programs and services in DET
the linking of current, relevant research to the proposed study/ travel
the integration of key networks and contacts in the area of study
alignment of the study to current departmental priorities as articulated in the current Strategic Plan and the appropriate Professional or Capability Framework
demonstration of how the study will help facilitate innovative practice in the department
demonstration of how the skills and knowledge gained through participation in the bursary will be shared with colleagues and the broader department, and
financial planning for the expenditure of bursary funds.

Applications for the 2012 Director-General's Senior Public Service Excellence Bursary have now closed.

Recipients of the 2012 Bursary will be announced in the coming weeks.
