About This Opportunity

The Colin Mort Master of Architecture Scholarship has been developed to support future and current Master of Architecture students at Curtin University in need, with a focus on those either based in the WA regions or from the WA regions. The Scholarship was established by Colin's generous bequest to the Western Australian Chapter of the Royal Institute of Architects. This scholarship honours Colin's memory and love for regional WA by supporting students who are in/from the WA regions as they pursue their Master of Architecture. Colin Mort (1926-2016) was primarily a Bunbury based Architect in regional Western Australia. He was active in community service roles and is described with great fondness as a lovely and gentle man with a wicked sense of humour, a sharp intelligence and an abundance of human kindness. The scholarship provides a total value of $22,500 paid as a cash stipend over the duration of study, along with membership to the Western Australian Chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects through the Student Organised Network for Architecture (SONA), and access to participating members for compulsory placement within the Professional Experience unit.
