Equipsuper trustee director Robin Jervis-Read and HESTA investments and governance manager Rob Fowler have each been awarded the inaugural educational scholarship by the Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees (AIST).
Sponsored by investment manger Tyndall, the scholarships are valued at $10,000 each.
The scholarships allow one trustee director and one staff member of AIST to complete courses that are relevant to superannuation.
It is vital for all participants in financial services to continue to grow and develop professionally in order to properly serve the needs of their various clients, Tyndall managing director Brett Himbury said.
"Our collective clients entrust us as an industry to look after one of their most valuable assets, which will ultimately enable them to enjoy a comfortable retirement," he said.
Fowler will use the scholarship to complete the Prince of Wales Business and Environment Programme and Jervis-Read will complete the Company Director's Course, run by the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Himbury said Tyndall will continue with its sponsorship in 2008.
