Clifford and Susan Crittenden Medical Scholarship

The Clifford and Susan Crittenden Medical Scholarship is part of the Medical Student Financial Aid Scholarships Scheme at the University of Queensland. This scholarship provides financial support to students enrolled in the Doctor of Medicine program who are experiencing financial hardship. Established in 2023 by Susan Crittenden under the Queensland Commitment match initiative, the scholarship reflects Susan's passion for creating opportunities for students to become doctors and ensure sustainability for the future medical workforce and healthcare system. The scholarship provides at least $4,500, but is limited to the annual income from the fund, and is awarded for one year. Eligible students must be enrolled full-time in the Doctor of Medicine, demonstrate financial hardship, and not hold another scholarship the Dean considers similar. Selection is based on demonstrated financial need, strength of the personal statement demonstrating how the scholarship will assist completion of the Doctor of Medicine, and any other matter the selection committee considers relevant to future success in study.
