The Vida Lahey Memorial Travelling Scholarship gives young or emerging Australian artists or young Australian art history students or graduates an extraordinary opportunity to develop their practice or research through an itinerary of international or national travel that will contribute to an understanding of Australian art. The Vida Lahey Memorial Travelling Scholarship is funded through the Estate of Shirley Lahey (1925–2011), the niece of eminent Queensland artist Vida Lahey, to honour Vida’s artistic achievements and the significance of travel in her life and art.
