Colin Gordon James Electrical Engineering Scholarship

The Colin Gordon James Electrical Engineering Scholarship was established in 2016 and is maintained by income from a bequest from Margaret Anne James in memory of her late husband Colin Gordon James to assist and encourage students in their studies of electrical engineering. This scholarship supports undergraduate and honours students enrolled in engineering programs at The University of Queensland who have completed at least their first year of study. The scholarship provides financial support equal to the annual income from the endowment and has a duration of one year. Up to two awards are available annually. Preference is given to applicants who can demonstrate financial, social, or geographical disadvantage, with a focus on students from rural or remote areas. Selection is based on academic achievement, commitment to the study of electrical engineering, personal qualities including leadership potential, and any other matters the selection committee considers relevant to future success in the engineering profession. Recipients must be Australian citizens enrolled full-time in approved Bachelor of Engineering programs.
