Dr Nichola Davis Scholarship

The Dr Nichola Davis 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. The scholarship was established in 2023 by Medical Indemnity Protection Society in honour and recognition of Dr Nichola Davis for her incredible contribution to Medicine and long service to the Medical Indemnity Protection Society team. Dr Davis supported the community in Cairns and had a connection to the regions. The scholarship awards at least $4,500 annually (limited to the annual income from the fund) to one recipient for a duration of one year. Eligible applicants must be enrolled full-time in the Doctor of Medicine program, demonstrate financial hardship, and not hold another scholarship the Dean considers similar. Selection is based on demonstrated financial need, the strength of the personal statement showing how the scholarship will assist completion of the Doctor of Medicine, and any other matters the selection committee considers relevant to future success in studies.
