Jessica King Scholarship

Each year, the ANU School of Medicine and Psychology within the ANU College of Science and Medicine may offer an award known as the Jessica King Scholarship. The objective of the Award is to assist Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students to undertake the Doctor of Medicine and Surgery program at the Australian National University. Funding for this Award has been provided by the Weltverbesserung Fund, a family-run trust which aims to promote equity in health, justice and the arts. The scholarship provides financial support to help Indigenous medical students complete their medical degree over a four-year period. Students who meet the eligibility criteria are automatically considered for the award without needing to submit a separate application.
