Malcolm Stewart Scholarship

The Malcolm Stewart Scholarship is an access scholarship designed to encourage Indigenous Australian students to continue with tertiary education and to study their own culture and history. The scholarship provides financial support to students enrolled in Honours years of a bachelor's degree program or in graduate diploma or master's by coursework programs, specifically for those taking courses relevant to the study of Indigenous Australian culture such as archaeology, anthropology, history and linguistics. Selection is based on academic merit, with the award going to the applicant who achieved the best average results in relevant courses taken in the previous year or in the undergraduate degree preceding the graduate coursework program. The scholarship is awarded on the recommendation of the Director of the Tjabal Indigenous Higher Education Centre and approved by the Chair of the University Awards Committee.
