Summary

Rosalie McCutcheon was Head of the Junior School of the Frensham School in New South Wales from 1941 to 1947 and 1953 to 1955. She was also Australian Secretary for the World Students Relief (1949-1953) and the Resident Secretary of the Australian Student Christian Movement, Universities of Sydney and New South Wales (1958-1964).

Rosalie was the first Deputy Director of International House, University of Sydney, from 1966 to 1972. Affectionately known as Mrs Mac, she devoted herself to the well-being of all residents.

The International House at the University of Sydney awards the Rosalie McCutcheon Scholarship to assist a resident either with academic or professional development, or to attend a conference, seminar or workshop in their area of study or on international issues.

The Scholarship was set up after the International House Alumni Association (SUIHAA) received a bequest from her estate, which subsequently became the Rosalie McCutcheon Scholarship Fund.
