Douglas H.K. Lee Family Scholarship

The Douglas H.K. Lee Family Scholarship is part of the Doctor of Medicine Research Scholarships Scheme at The University of Queensland. This scholarship supports students undertaking research projects towards MBBS/MD-MPhil or MBBS/MD-PhD degrees. The scholarship was founded in 1987 through a series of gifts from Dr. D. H. K. Lee, Foundation Professor of Physiology at UQ. The scholarship provides financial support of at least $5,000 for one year to assist medical students engaged in research. Up to five scholarships are awarded annually. Eligible applicants must be enrolled full-time in an approved program and undertaking a research project as part of their MBBS/MD-MPhil or MBBS/MD-PhD degrees. Selection is based on the feasibility of the proposed research project, the tangible benefits that may result from the completed project, and the applicant's personal statement regarding research fees. Applicants must submit an outline of their proposed research project and any other relevant supporting documentation through the online application form. The scholarship is open to both domestic and international students currently enrolled at UQ who demonstrate academic excellence in health and medicine fields.
