Robert Philp Scholarship

The Robert Philp Scholarship is awarded annually to outstanding undergraduate students in their third year of the Bachelor of Agricultural Science program at the University of Queensland. This scholarship was established as a memorial to the Honourable Sir Robert Philp, KCMG, a former Premier of Queensland, by means of a fund amounting to $2,732.45 by public subscription inaugurated in 1909. The scholarship recognizes academic excellence and supports students pursuing studies in agriculture and animal sciences, as well as environmental fields. Recipients are selected based on their overall academic achievement in the Bachelor of Agricultural Science program, their personal statement, and any other evidence deemed relevant to their future success in the field. The scholarship provides a minimum value of $1,500 AUD for a duration of one year. At least one scholarship is awarded annually to full-time undergraduate students who demonstrate exceptional academic performance in their program. Applications are accepted between January 1 and March 31, 2026, and require proof of academic achievement and a personal statement.
