$5,000 to invest in you — and your future.

In 2025, the Women’s Professional Development Network (WPDN) is celebrating 30 years of supporting women’s career development at the University of Adelaide.

To mark this milestone, we are proud to launch the WPDN Fellowship Award — a new initiative offering two $5,000 grants to women professional staff to pursue a professional development opportunity of their choosing in 2026!

The Fellowship Award is designed to fund transformative professional development opportunities that will empower you to build new skills and create lasting impact across the University and beyond, in an area that you’re passionate about.

Whether it’s attending an interstate or overseas conference, enrolling in a leadership program, or completing an online course, the Fellowship Award puts your professional growth front and centre!

Applications for the WPDN Fellowship Award open on Thursday 2 October 2025, and close on Friday 31 October 2025.
