E.O.H. Handy Memorial Scholarship

The E.O.H. Handy Memorial Scholarship is part of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Scholarship Scheme at The University of Queensland. This scholarship was founded in 1995 by a bequest under the will of Maisie Elizabeth Handy in memory of her late husband E.O.H. Handy. The scholarship provides financial assistance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students experiencing financial hardship who are enrolled in undergraduate or postgraduate coursework programs at UQ. The scholarship aims to support Indigenous students in pursuing their educational goals through a one-time award of $500. Up to two scholarships are awarded annually, with selection based on academic merit or technical excellence, social and economic need, and consideration of any other scholarships or benefits the applicant is entitled to receive.
