David Phillips was born in South Africa in 1959 and immigrated to Melbourne with his parents, Norma and Julian, in 1962. He was a gifted scholar, an avid reader and a lover of languages. For more than 25 years, David taught English at RMIT Training. He was passionate about the life changing value of English language acquisition.
David passed away in 2020. This scholarship has been established by Lisa Phillips and Fiona Phillips to honour the work of their brother. It is intended to assist students from refugee, migrant or disadvantaged backgrounds to acquire English language skills at RMIT.
