AFGW-NSW INC - HILDA JAMIESON AWARDS

Obituary - Hilda Jamieson B.Sc., Uni. Sydney 1923 - died 12/6/1964.??
"Hilda Jamieson was a graduate in science of Sydney University when this discipline attracted few women. She had a strong conviction that those who had received the opportunity for higher education should return, in their vocational and voluntary work, the advantages they had received. Her own involvement was far ranging - the Women's Army Corps, Rachel Foster Hospital, Frensham School complex, the Council of Meriden School, Strathfield, and the Twilight Homes.
"Hilda Jamieson was a long serving member of the Executive of the NSW Association of Graduate Women. In the mid-1960's she donated to the Association a capital fund for the Jamieson Prizes, the income to be used for annual awards to women in their final undergraduate year. These prizes were not to be restricted to any specific university or discipline; Their primary purpose was to equalise, to some extent, the discrepancy in the newer universities with those of more established endowments; and to encourage innovations in various fields of study - applicants were to be assessed not only upon academic merit but also participation in community activities. Although these prizes have varied from year to year in both geographical and discipline distribution, one observed result of this "open" award scheme has been that many prize winners came into the mature age category which has also been a consistent interest - and - encouragement concern of AFUW. As a botanist, her interest was reflected in her magnificent garden.

"Towards the end of 1967 NSW AUWG was notified by Miss Hilda Jamieson, Senior Vice-President of the Association, of her intention to endow a sum of $4,000 to establish a fund from which prizes would be awarded to outstanding women students in their final year at universities within NSW. These awards would differ from those offered at branch level in that applicants for the awards would have to apply directly to the association which would then judge the candidates, rather than prize winners being selected by university authorities. Since its inception in 1968 awards from Miss Jamieson's fund have been made to graduating students representing the full range of studies available within the state's six universities."
