The Nelson Meers Foundation is proud to have supported the Premier’s Teaching Scholarships over 6 years, a biennial program designed with a vision of global educational exchange to assist our best teachers to further their knowledge and skills.

Partnering with Dr Gene and Brian Sherman (and with David and Angela Kent in 2011) the Nelson Meers Foundation funded the inaugural Contemporary Art Teaching Scholarship, which allowed a NSW teacher to undertake an international study tour to visit some of the world’s finest institutions and centres of learning throughout Asia.

We strongly believe in supporting all layers of the cultural sector. Our teachers are an invaluable resource. Without them, our ability to encourage greater participation in the cultural sector, and more considered understanding of the world around us, is diminished.
