McColl Family Medical Scholarship

The McColl Family Medical Scholarship is part of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Scholarship Scheme at The University of Queensland. Established in 2023 under the Queensland Commitment initiative and maintained by the income from a gift of $50,000 by the McColl Family, this scholarship supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students experiencing financial hardship. The scholarship provides at least $4,500 to assist students enrolled full-time in coursework programs administered by the Faculty of Medicine or equivalent programs. Preference is given to applicants from Regional, Rural or Remote areas. In the event that there are no eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, the scholarship may be awarded to a student enrolled in a health-related program. Applicants are assessed on demonstrated financial hardship, personal qualities including leadership potential, academic ability, and other factors relevant to future academic success. The scholarship is awarded for one year, with one scholarship available per round.
