Donald Tugby Musicology Prize

The Donald Tugby Musicology Prize is awarded annually to a student enrolled in either the Bachelor of Music (Honours) or Bachelor of Arts (Honours), majoring in the field of music, who has submitted a thesis on a topic in the field of musicology. The award recognizes academic excellence in musicology at the Honours level. Established in 2011, this prize is maintained by the income of an endowment gift from Dr Donald Tugby, who taught anthropology at The University of Queensland from 1958 to 1986. Dr Tugby was a member of the university choir and an advisor on world music, and this prize honors his legacy and commitment to musicology education. The prize is awarded to the student with the highest overall mark and a grade of 7 for a music Honours course. Students do not need to apply for this award as they are automatically considered if they meet the eligibility criteria. Recipients are notified in writing if they receive the scholarship.
