Paul Everitt Procurement Australia Scholarship

Discover new horizons in procurement with our Paul Everitt Scholarship program, tailored for high achievers. This initiative offers a $10,000 prize to support your educational pursuits and amplify your impact on the industry.

The Paul Everitt Procurement Australia Scholarship is named in memory of Paul Everitt. Paul Everitt was a former staff member of Procurement Australia and a passionate, driven procurement executive who tragically lost his life in October 2015. Paul himself believed in training and study and was undertaking a three-year procurement study course with CIPS at the time of his death.

Our commitment to innovation in procurement is reflected in this scholarship. Beyond financial assistance, we provide a versatile platform for recipients to explore advanced studies, immersive secondments, research projects, or paper development.
