Richard Hays Foundation Dean of Medicine Bursary

This Bursary was founded in 2013 with funds donated by Professor Richard Hays, founding Dean of Medicine at JCU. It recognises the academic achievement and community involvement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander medical students. The scholarship supports students enrolled in the Bachelor of Medicine or Bachelor of Surgery at James Cook University who are in their 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th year of study. Recipients must be Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and enrolled full-time. This is a one-time award, as previous recipients are not eligible to apply again.
