About This Opportunity

The Oei Family Scholarship was established in 2018 and maintained by gifts from the Oei Family, in honour of Emeritus Professor Tian Po Sumantri Oei and his contribution to the discipline of psychology at The University of Queensland. This scholarship provides financial support to students enrolled or intending to enrol in an approved postgraduate coursework program in the health and medicine study area. The scholarship is specifically targeted at students experiencing financial hardship or from rural or remote areas, with a focus on supporting students who face barriers to higher education. The award provides $5,000 per year for up to 2 years, with one scholarship awarded annually. Preference is given to students demonstrating financial disadvantage, those from rural or regional areas, first-in-family university students, students from non-English speaking backgrounds, or those aspiring to work in rural and remote locations after graduation.
