Anastasios and Evangelia Lavidis Scholarship

This scholarship was established in 2024 by a gift from Associate Professor Nickolas Lavidis under the Create Change match initiative and maintained by income from The Anastasios and Evangelia Lavidis Scholarship Endowment fund. The scholarship provides financial support to students experiencing financial hardship who are enrolled in the Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Honours) program at the University of Queensland. Associate Professor Lavidis has been a generous supporter of student scholarships and financial need at UQ since 2003. On staff in UQ's School of Biomedical Sciences, his interest in students stems from the way his parents Anastasios and Evangelia Lavidis modelled generosity during his years growing up, and his own desire to help students in financial need achieve their educational, research and career aspirations. The scholarship has a duration of one year and provides a minimum value of $4,000 AUD.
