Betty Fletcher Memorial Travelling Scholarship

The Betty Fletcher Memorial Travelling Scholarship supports students enrolled in programs administered by the School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry at The University of Queensland. The scholarship enables travel opportunities of at least four weeks to Greece, Italy, Asia Minor, or other locations that were part of the civilisation of Rome or Ancient Greece. Established in 1992 as a memorial to Betty Fletcher, foundation Patron of the Friends of Antiquity and generous benefactor of the Department of Classics and Ancient History. Until 2019, the Scholarship was maintained by an annual gift from the Alumni Friends of The University of Queensland, made on behalf of Friends of Antiquity. Following a 2020 donation by Alumni Friends of The University of Queensland, in conjunction with and on behalf of Friends of Antiquity, the Scholarship is now maintained from the Betty Fletcher Memorial Travelling Scholarship Endowment Fund. Recipients are selected based on academic capability, the value of the proposed travel to their future success in the discipline, and their commitment to classics and ancient history.
