In 1996 Mike established The Mike Walsh Fellowships to assist young theatre artists who have the potential to make a significant contribution to the Australian arts and entertainment industry. The Fellowships enable recipients to travel abroad to obtain a wider knowledge and experience of theatre, such as through a formal course of study, or by a self-devised program which, for example, might include private instruction, observation, secondment, meetings, or an association with a theatre company, before returning to Australia to pursue their careers.
From 2011, the Fellowships, previously offered only to NIDA graduates, are open to theatre practitioners who are recent graduates of the Victorian College of the Arts or of WAAPA as well as of NIDA; the period of eligibility has been reduced to exclude graduates who have not had time to establish themselves in the profession; and the total amount distributed annually has been increased to $50 000.
Applications are now closed for the Mike Walsh Fellowships.
