Love Scholarship

Each year the University may award scholarships known as the ANU Love Scholarships. The objective of the award is to help a student who is dedicated, has high ethics, is resilient, has met roadblocks during their life and will be able to move forward and shine as a result of being awarded the Love Scholarship. The Love scholarships are a flagship scholarship program at ANU, promoting and supporting equity and diversity at the University. Funding for this award has been provided by the late Emeritus Professor John Love. Professor Love established the Love Scholarship during his lifetime, with the first scholarships awarded in 2015. Following his death, Professor Love endowed the scholarships in perpetuity with a generous bequest to ANU. The scholarship is valued at up to $50,000 over up to 5 years depending on the program in which the recipient is enrolled. Payments are made per semester with decreasing amounts each year: $15,000 in Year 1, $12,500 in Year 2, $10,000 in Year 3, $7,500 in Year 4, and $5,000 in Year 5. The scholarship is available to prospective ANU domestic students who are eligible for and have received adjustment factors for financial hardship under the National Access Scheme (NAS). The scholarship supports students across any discipline and is open to undergraduate and flexible double degree programs.
