The Australian Women’s Canon Law Scholarship is a collaborative initiative being developed by a group of women religious congregations & religious institutions in Australia. It responds to a shared concern about the future availability of canon lawyers who understand women religious, religious life, governance, Public Juridic Persons, stewardship, safeguarding, and the civil–canonical interface.
This scholarship is intended to support the formation of a woman or women to undertake formal study in Canon Law, with the Licentiate in Canon Law qualification through Saint Paul University, Ottawa. The initiative is not simply a study scholarship. It is a formation pathway that includes academic study, mentoring, conference participation, engagement with congregations, governance exposure, regular reflection and post-study service.
