Littleton Groom Memorial Award

The Littleton Groom Memorial Award provides financial support to law students originating from Queensland who are studying at the Australian National University. Funding for this Award has been provided by Lady Jessie Jane Groom, widow of Sir Littleton Groom, who was an administrative and constitutional lawyer who held the offices of Commonwealth Attorney General and Speaker of the House of Representatives. The Award is available to prospective ANU students enrolled as full-time Bachelor of Laws (Honours) students, whether undertaking study in a single or flexible double degree, at the ANU College of Law. Recipients must have relocated from or be currently residing in Queensland and have gained entry to the University on the basis of secondary or tertiary qualifications obtained at a school, university or other institution situated in Queensland. The Award provides $1,000 per year, paid in equal instalments after census date each semester ($500 per semester), for the duration of the degree or for up to five years, whichever is shorter. Only one recipient can hold the award at any given time. Selection is based on academic merit, and continuation is based on maintaining a full-time study load. The scholarship is currently unavailable as only one recipient can hold the award at any given time. Once the previous recipient has graduated or has exceeded the five year period, the ANU College of Law will re-open applications for this award.
