Emeritus Professor RD Milns AM Memorial Undergraduate Scholarship

The Emeritus Professor RD Milns AM Memorial Undergraduate Scholarship supports undergraduate students at the University of Queensland who are pursuing studies in Ancient History, Ancient Greek, Latin, or Classical Languages. Established in 2020 by Alumni Friends Society under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative in memory of Emeritus Professor RD Milns AM, the scholarship is maintained by income generated from endowment. The scholarship provides $4,500 per year for one year to support students enrolled full-time in undergraduate programs administered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Selection is based on evidence of financial need, academic capability and future academic potential in courses relating to Ancient History, Latin, Ancient Greek, Classical Languages or related fields, and any other evidence deemed relevant to future success in the field. Alumni Friends dates back to 1967, and the Friends of Antiquity was established in 1988 as a special interest group to support Classics and Ancient History at UQ. In June 2020, Alumni Friends became a UQ Giving Society, and members contributed funds to establish this memorial scholarship.
