Paula and Tony Kinnane Art History Scholarship

The Paula and Tony Kinnane Art History Scholarship provides financial support to undergraduate students enrolled full-time in a degree that offers the field of art history in a study sequence at The University of Queensland. The scholarship was established in 2017 and is maintained by the income of a perpetual endowment fund from a bequest to The University of Queensland under the will of Paula Ruth Kinnane, who graduated from The University of Queensland in 1991 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. The scholarship recognises Paula and Tony Kinnane, who were lifetime lovers of art, art galleries, and collecting art for their own pleasure. Paula Ruth Kinnane (died 2014) was an alumna of UQ (BA 1991) and a supporter of the UQ Art Museum and School of Music. Following her death, The University of Queensland received a generous bequest to assist students in regional areas through access to higher education in the arts. The scholarship provides $12,000 AUD per year for up to 4 years. Recipients are selected based on academic achievement, interest or experience in Art History, and any other matter that the selection committee considers relevant to their future success in art history. The scholarship is open to both domestic and international students currently enrolled at UQ.
