Harold Fisher Scholarship

The late Harold Fisher was a long-standing member of B'nai B'rith and a Past President of District 21 – Australia/New Zealand. One of his greatest passions was Opera.

After his death, B'nai B'rith Victoria decided to honour his memory by establishing a Scholarship for a final year Opera Student at the Victorian College of the Arts.

Each year, staff appointed by the College and a panel from B’nai B’rith select the winner of this Scholarship.

 The Scholarship is awarded to enable the recipient to further their training in Opera.
