Edith Cowan Prize in Music [F1684]

Mr Peter Cowan having donated $2500 to establish a prize in the name of his late wife, Edith, as a mark of the interest and pleasure she gained through her long association with the activities of the then Department of Music and the Music Society, the Edith Cowan Prize in Music is established.

The prize consists of the annual income of the fund after capitalisation, in accordance with Senate policy, and is awarded by the Board of Examiners in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences to the student who, in the opinion of the full-time staff of the School of Music, is the most outstanding in the Level 3 or 4 units which comprise the final 48 points completed in the course for the degree of Bachelor of Music, the Level 3 units being those with a suffix beginning with 3 and the Level 4 units being those with a suffix beginning with 4.
