EJ Fisher Scholarship

The EJ Fisher Scholarship was established in 2020 as part of the Create Change Scholarship Match Scheme and in collaboration with Alumni Friends. Dr Catherine A Lawrence and Mr Geoff Lawrence created this scholarship at The University of Queensland to support domestic students accepted into the Bachelor of Politics, Philosophy and Economics Honours program who are facing financial hardship. The scholarship provides financial support of at least $4,500, limited to the value of the annual distribution of the fund, and can be awarded for up to 4 years. One scholarship is awarded annually to help students pursue their undergraduate honors studies in politics, philosophy, and economics. Recipients are selected based on financial need, academic ability, and personal qualities relevant to their future success in their studies. The scholarship aims to make higher education accessible to talented students who might otherwise face financial barriers to completing their degree in this interdisciplinary program.
