The Australian Midwifery Scholarship Foun- dation was established in 1989 by the Australian College of Midwives Inc. for the purpose of pro- moting the practice of midwifery in Australia.

For the financial year 1990-91, the Founda- tion awarded moneys totally of $13,600 to four midwives for continuing research and promotion of education and practice of midwifery.

The Foundation received a total of twelve submissions seeking funding assistance, all of which fulfilled the selection criteria. Submissions received were of very high quality and displayed a breadth and depth of research projects. Further. more, they displayed the potential to enhance general educational activities undertaken by midwives in the field of midwifery nursing.

The successful midwives for this financial year are:

SOUTH AUSTRALIA: Lesley L. Barclay is also participating in PhD studied at Hinders University in South Australia. Lesley's research is a prospective, longitudinal study of sexual behaviours of heterosexual couples.

NEW SOUTH WALES: Maggie Lecky Thompson and Akal Kaur Khalsa are seeking to
