Dr Margot McCarthy Memorial Scholarship for Women in Security

The Dr Margot McCarthy Memorial Scholarship for Women in Security is offered annually by the National Security College at the Australian National University. The scholarship aims to foster domestic talent in women in national security policy and attract high quality applicants who may otherwise have been excluded due to financial constraints and who can demonstrate long-term commitment to a career in National Security in either the public service or policy research. This is a stipend scholarship worth a maximum of $36,000 over 72 units of study ($24,000 per annum), paid in equal instalments at the beginning of each semester for the duration of the Master of National Security Policy program. The scholarship is available to domestic students who identify as women and are either commencing or continuing their studies in the Master of National Security Policy. Recipients are responsible for making payment of all tuition fees and the costs of books, study materials, accommodation, and all other costs of study. The scholarship is currently unavailable but has been offered in previous years.
