THE GRAEME HILDEBRAND FOUNDATION (Established in 2007) ART SCHOLARSHIP/TRAVEL GRANT Graeme Hildebrand was born on 15 January 1943 and grew up on a farm in Whittlesea, Victoria. He did not follow the family tradition of farming and after leaving school commenced an apprenticeship in carpentry and joinery which he completed in 1963. He became a builder assisting in building many houses in his home town. Furthering his education became a passion so in 1964/65 he studied Theology at the Melbourne Bible Institute and became a lay preacher. He later qualified for a Diploma of Divinity in 1968 and a Bachelor of Divinity with Honours in 1976. He further studied at Monash University graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 1972 and from Latrobe was awarded a Diploma of Education in 1975. Graeme held positions of school chaplain and teacher in secondary colleges and a tutor in a tertiary sector. The next qualification was motivated by Graeme’s love of art, studying fine arts and design at a Tertiary College with graduation in 1984. During the 1980s Graeme commenced his own business in building and garden design which he continued for the remainder of his life. He was a man passionate about education, classical music, reading, good conversation and arts, showing particular skills as a painter. Graeme was an active Member of the Ringwood Art Society and was well known for organising Annual week-long breaks in January at Falls Creeks for painting and recreation. Graeme generously bequeathed $100,000 to the Ringwood Arts Society to award a Biennial Scholarship or Travel Grant to developing artists who would benefit from funding for tuition or travel and would otherwise be unable to take advantage of such an opportunity. Graeme in addition had a desire to make a difference to individuals and communities in third world countries through his bequest to provide education and training. His generous gifts exemplify what he loved and valued in life.Chloe.html
