MARY JANE LEWIS SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION
When Dafydd Lewis died in 1941 he left his estate to be held in perpetual trust, to provide scholarships for boys to attend full-time tertiary education in Melbourne. The Mary Jane Lewis Scholarship Foundation, named in honour of Dafydd Lewis' second wife, was created in 2004 by a group of passionate philanthropists to reflect the educational environment of today. The Mary Jane Lewis Scholarship Foundation is structured on a similar basis to the Dafydd Lewis Trust, with scholarships awarded after consideration of a combination of an applicants' academic performance, a means and asset test applied to their parents and an interview. The key difference is the Mary Jane Scholarship Foundation encourages young women, as well as young men, to apply and there are no restrictions on the degree course that scholarship recipients can take.
