James and Everingham Bursary

The James and Everingham Bursary is an annual award offered by The University of Queensland to support undergraduate students enrolled in programs related to food technology or rural agriculture. Founded in 1975 by a gift to the Queensland Agricultural College made by Dr N P Everingham, this bursary commemorates Anne Elizabeth James and Stephan Nixon Everingham who died in a motor accident in 1973. Anne Elizabeth James was enrolled in the Associate Diploma of Applied Science (Food Technology) at the College in 1972/1973 and Stephan Everingham graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Applied Science (Rural Technology) in 1972. The bursary provides annual income from the fund and is awarded for one year based on both academic excellence and financial hardship. The scholarship is open to both domestic and international students currently enrolled at UQ. Selection is based on academic achievements to date and demonstrated financial need. Applicants must submit proof of financial circumstances (such as tax returns and/or Centrelink statements), proof of academic achievement, and a personal statement. One award is available annually, with applications opening on January 1st and closing on March 31st each year.
