Koiki Eddie Mabo Scholarship

This scholarship fund was established in 2001 by Dr Roger Riordan AM in memory of Koiki Eddie Mabo. The aim is to provide a scholarship fund that can be used for the purpose of assisting any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student who is studying in the College of Health Medicine and Wellbeing at the University of Newcastle. The scholarship is open to students enrolled in any year of an undergraduate program within the College of Health Medicine and Wellbeing, with a focus on Medicine. Recipients must be enrolled full-time and demonstrate academic progress through ATAR or equivalent for commencing students, or a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 4.0 for continuing students. Applicants must establish their Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander identity and heritage with the university and cannot be the recipient of another University of Newcastle donor-funded or sponsored scholarship concurrently.
