Summary

The Anita Morawetz Scholarship was established with a gift from the family of the late Anita Morawetz and is awarded to students who are pursuing research that will contribute to the clinical practice of family therapy.

About the donor

Anita Morawetz was the daughter of Czech Jewish migrants to Melbourne, who became founding members of Musica Viva. Anita graduated from the University in 1962 worked as a social worker first in Europe, and then in Israel for some years, after which she went to America where she took a postgraduate degree. Her special interest was family therapy, which she continued to practice between her return to Australia in 1981 until her untimely death in 1989.

She was a charming, high-spirited, enterprising, resourceful, fun-loving woman, involved in all sorts of cultural and community activities. She had a warmth and compassion for people from all walks of life. Anita faced her untimely terminal illness with the same courage, spirit and grace with which she had lived her life.

Each year the Morawetz Family provides generous support to education programs in Victoria in memory and celebration of the life of Anita Morawetz.
