Siggins Miller Scholarship

The Siggins Miller Scholarship is part of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Scholarship Scheme at The University of Queensland. This scholarship was established in 2002 and is maintained by income from a gift of $30,000 from Siggins Miller Consultants. The scholarship provides financial support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who are enrolled full-time in Year 1 of the Doctor of Medicine program and can demonstrate financial hardship. The scholarship awards $5,000 for a duration of one year to support students during their first year of medical studies. One scholarship is awarded annually to eligible candidates. Selection is based on demonstrated financial hardship, personal qualities including leadership potential, academic ability, and other factors relevant to future academic success. Applicants need to submit only one application to be considered for all scholarships in the Aspire Scholarship scheme, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Scholarship scheme, and the UQ Residential Scholarship scheme. Supporting documentation showing financial circumstances, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander status, academic achievement, and community service or leadership achievements may be required. The scholarship aims to support Indigenous students pursuing medical education and reduce financial barriers to their studies.
