Robertson Family Scholarship

The Robertson Family Scholarship was established in 2013 in memory of A. K. (Bill) Robertson and V. M. (Molly) Robertson through an endowed gift from their children. Bill Robertson and Molly Robertson were both mature-age students at the University of Queensland, graduating with Bachelor of Arts degrees – Bill Robertson in 1950 and Molly Robertson in 1972. This scholarship supports domestic students who are 21 years of age or older during their first year of enrolment, commencing in a program administered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, who can demonstrate financial hardship. The scholarship provides $4,500 per year for the minimum completion time of the degree. Selection is based on demonstrated financial need, academic achievement from prior studies, and any other matter the selection committee considers relevant to the student's future success in completing their degree. Applicants must not already hold a university degree.
