Draft:Haddon Travelling Scholarship

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Haddon Travelling Scholarship was a program set up in the early 20th Century[1] honouring Ada and Robert Joseph Haddon to support Australia's top young architects travelling internationally to explore cities worldwide, later sharing their findings with colleagues. In Haddon's will, he made provision for a travelling scholarship, the richest of its kind[2][3] known as the Robert and Ada Haddon architectural bequest. The scholarship was first awarded in 1934.[citation needed]

The award carried a travelling scholarship to the approximate value of £300 and was assessed by three criteria. Firstly, a competition in designing and planning with competitors given thirteen weeks within which to complete design drawings. Secondly, general excellence in architectural studies. Thirdly, excellence in practical office work and personal character.[4]
