Mary Alison Miles Munro Scholarships

The Mary Alison Miles Munro Scholarships are awarded to undergraduate students at The University of Queensland who are commencing their second year in a program administered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. The scholarships recognize students who demonstrate the greatest proficiency in modern foreign language courses completed during their first year of study. This scholarship was founded in 1936 by gifts totaling $3,500 from Mr Simon Edwin Munro, Mrs Helena Mary Whitehouse, and Mrs Jessie Hamon in memory of Mrs Mary Alison Miles Munro. Students must have completed at least one modern foreign language course in both semesters of their first year, along with passing at least 8 units (full-time) or 4 units (part-time) for other courses. Up to two scholarships are awarded annually with a minimum value of $300 AUD per scholarship. The scholarship has a duration of one year and is available to both domestic and international students. Students do not need to apply as they are automatically assessed based on their academic performance in language courses if they meet the eligibility criteria.
