The BJ Hickey Scholarship is the brainchild of Perth Emeritus Archbishop Barry James Hickey, set up with the sole intention of offering lay people from the Archdiocese of Perth with the rare opportunity of undertaking Biblical studies either locally or abroad.
Managed by the Centre for Faith Enrichment (CFE), the Biblical Foundation has a twofold mission of assisting local Catholics in developing their knowledge and use of the Scriptures and to offer scholarships for Biblical studies through the BJ Hickey Biblical Foundation.
