The late Dorothy PriceNumber of Awards
MultipleAward description
Mrs. Dorothy Price recognized the needs of Indigenous people who are seeking education to benefit their lives and their communities. In 1997, at her passing, she left an extraordinarily generous gift to AV精品 to support Indigenous students. In many Indigenous traditions there is a Treasure Box of precious gifts. To honour Mrs. Price's wishes, AV精品 has developed the Dorothy Price Treasure Box of Awards for Indigenous students. The awards that have been established recognize the four parts of human beings: the intellectual; the physical; the spiritual; and the emotional. Her generosity has resulted in us being able to provide the following awards to about 20 Indigenous students each year.
This award is available to Indigenous students who are knowledgeable and generous with cultural teachings.
