Ruthning Memorial Scholarship

The Ruthning Memorial Scholarship is awarded to outstanding first-year law students at the University of Queensland who have already received specific merit-based scholarships. The scholarship provides $2,500 for one semester to the student who achieves the highest marks in their first semester law courses. Established in 1960 by a legacy from Miss E. S. D. Ruthning and Miss V. E. M. Ruthning in memory of their father H. L. E. Ruthning, a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland, this scholarship recognizes academic excellence in law. Students are automatically assessed based on their performance in 4 units of LAWS courses completed in their first semester. Recipients must be enrolled full-time in an approved undergraduate law program and have already been awarded either the TC Beirne School of Law Scholarship, the Leadership, Excellence and Diversity (Lead) Scholarship, or the UQLA Endowment Fund Scholarship.
