The Kate Edger Educational Charitable Trust trading as Academic Dress Hire is a non-profit organisation "Empowering through Education".

Purpose:  To provide funds for the promotion, advancement and encouragement of education for women, either in research and professional activities, or artistic and creative activities.  

All proceeds from hireage of regalia at Academic Dress Hire support our purpose, mainly through the provision of awards and financial and other assistance. 

On average over 110 awards are funded each year to women in the Auckland and Northland regions. Awards vary from smaller grants to assist with retraining, to much larger $16,000 Doctoral and Post-Doctoral research awards. Without the Trust's assistance, many of these women would not be able to access further education.
