Through the IOOF Centre for Educational and Medical Research the organisation has developed core aims and objectives to achieve significant and continuous in-roads in the areas of Education, and the Prevention and Mitigation of Illness and Disability.
The Centre offers scholarships and grants designed to encourage educational excellence and to assist students in meeting the ever-increasing costs associated with their schooling. Research Scholarships have provided opportunities for research into various educational and teaching activities. We are pleased to have supported research scholarships into the specific learning needs of students, at all educational levels, who have either a vision or hearing impairment. These research results are available to all teachers and have been found to be beneficial not only to the students, but also as a professional development opportunity for teachers.
