<p>Dear all</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In case you or your Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander students haven't seen this yet, just letting you know that the deadline for this year's Bendi Lango bursaries for Indigenous postgraduate psychology students in financial need has been extended to
March 31 - Easter Sunday. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Conditions are quite restrictive so there is likely to be a very small pool - hope at least the notice can reach them all. Please circulate among your networks</p>

Gordon. In 2011 this initiative was formalised as a fund for tax-deductible donations. These member donations have exceeded $30,000 in both 2011 and 2012, providing strong endorsement for the Indigenous Education and Employment component of the APS Reconciliation
Action Plan. </span></p>
