George Essex Evans Scholarship

The George Essex Evans Scholarship is an honours-level scholarship at The University of Queensland designed to support an outstanding student completing an honours program in English Literature or Drama. Established in 1972 by a bequest from the late Miss Anne Basilea Valentina Evans in memory of her brother George Essex Evans, this scholarship recognizes demonstrated ability in the field of Australian literature and culture. The scholarship is awarded annually to a student enrolled in the Honours year of a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in the field of English Literature or Drama at UQ. Selection is based on the applicant's demonstrated ability in the field of Australian literature and culture, intentions to continue in that field, and financial need. Applicants must provide a statement outlining their abilities in Australian literature and culture and their intentions to continue in the field, as well as a statement describing their current financial situation. The scholarship assists students in completing their honours program while pursuing excellence in these specific fields of study.
