Hickson Family Scholarship

The Hickson Family Scholarship is a financial award designed to support students experiencing financial hardship while pursuing studies in audiology at The University of Queensland. Established in 2020 through a gift from Professor Louise Hickson AM and Ms Prudence Galley under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative, the scholarship is maintained by income generated from an endowment fund. The scholarship provides at least $4,500 per year (limited to the annual income from the fund) for one year to assist with the completion of the Master of Audiology Studies program. This scholarship recognizes the importance of supporting students who demonstrate financial need and shows promise in the profession of audiology. The selection process considers demonstrated financial need, the strength of the applicant's personal statement, and other relevant factors that may contribute to the applicant's future success in the audiology profession. Shortlisted candidates may be invited for an interview.
