Ken Wanganeen Scholarship

The Ken Wanganeen Scholarship has been generously established in memory of the distinguished Indigenous Australian, Ken Wanganeen. Mr Wanganeen completed his first degree with honours at Flinders University and during his career became Assistant Secretary in the Department of Aboriginal Affairs. He was committed to developing constructive ways of bringing the people of Australia together. The scholarship is available to prospective or current ANU students who are Australian citizens of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent and identify as such, accepted by the community in which they live or formerly lived. The scholarship is valued at $5,400 per annum (2023 value) and is awarded as a once-off payment. Recipients must be enrolled or planning to enroll in a postgraduate coursework program at the university or the Australian National Internships Program. This access scholarship aims to support Indigenous Australian students in pursuing higher education opportunities at the Australian National University.
