Paul Bunyan Memorial Scholarship in Medical Sciences

The Paul Bunyan Memorial Scholarship in Medical Sciences is offered annually by the John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) within the ANU College of Science and Medicine. The scholarship supports students undertaking their Honours project, with research to be conducted in medical science, preferably in a field related to cancer research. The objective of the award is to provide financial assistance to talented students pursuing Honours-level research in medical sciences at one of Australia's leading medical research institutions. The scholarship particularly encourages research projects related to cancer, though other medical science fields may be considered. Funding for this award has been provided by Mr and Mrs Bunyan, in memory of their son, Paul. The scholarship reflects the family's commitment to supporting medical research and the next generation of medical scientists. Recipients conduct their research at the John Curtin School of Medical Research, a renowned institution at the Australian National University. The scholarship is available to both domestic and international students enrolled in an Honours year at JCSMR, with selection based on academic merit. Students receive $10,000 per annum paid over two semesters for one year of study.
