Call for Entries: David Lyle Foundation

Scholarship programme in the name of Aussie exec will send 2 young people to markets & festivals worldwide.

The David Lyle Foundation has opened its application process for its first scholarship programme providing US$10,000 each to two young people to travel to markets & festivals.

The not-for-profit organisation launched earlier this year in memory of Lyle, the much-loved Aussie industry executive who was a mentor to many in the industry globally, during his 40-year career.

The scholarships are designed to allow two fledgling executives to travel to key markets and festivals worldwide to build their knowledge of the global business, supported by an advisory board of key executives in the sector.

Each scholarship includes VIP access to the leading international markets and festivals, a mentor programme and a suite of complimentary subscriptions to leading trade publications and organisation services. It also includes US$5,000 towards flights, hotels and expenses.

Cheryl Clarke, president of the David Lyle Foundation said: “We aim to recognise and inspire next-generation leadership and to support those who want to make a positive difference in the sector. Crucially, the foundation is for people who share the values of namesake David Lyle, remarkable people who reflect these values and aspirations of a creative executive of the future.”
