Malcolm Stewart Scholarship

The Malcolm Stewart Scholarship is designed to encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to continue with tertiary education and to study their own culture and history. This scholarship is specifically for Indigenous Australian students enrolled in either the Honours Years of a bachelor's degree program or in a graduate diploma or masters by coursework program, taking courses relevant to the study of Indigenous Australian culture such as archaeology, anthropology, history and linguistics. The scholarship is awarded based on academic merit, with the applicant required to have achieved the best average results of all students considered for the scholarship in relevant courses taken in the previous year or in the undergraduate degree preceding the graduate coursework program. The scholarship is available at the Australian National University and is awarded for one year. One scholarship is offered annually, with the award made on the recommendation of the Director of the Tjabal Indigenous Higher Education Centre and approved by the Chair of the University Awards Committee.
