Florence McKenzie Chair (FMK Supplementary Scholarship)

Each year the School of Cybernetics in the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science may offer up to 10 awards known as the FMK Supplementary Scholarship. Funding for this Award has been provided by the Florence Violet McKenzie Chair. The Florence McKenzie Chair is proudly named in honour of Florence Violet McKenzie, Australia's first female electrical engineer, who exemplifies the pioneering spirit and lifelong pursuit of inclusive use of technology in society. The objective of this Award is to provide funding for outstanding domestic or international students to enable them to pursue a PhD program in the New Branch of Engineering developed by the School of Cybernetics. The award provides a supplementary stipend scholarship paid as fortnightly instalments and an additional research support allowance paid as an annual lump sum into the recipient's Professional Development fund. Recipients must be enrolled full-time in the cohort program of study for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the School of Cybernetics at ANU, have been awarded an ANU approved PhD base stipend scholarship, and have agreed to assign ownership of any Student Material including Intellectual Property to the University.
