Simon Siu Medical Scholarship

The Simon Siu Medical Scholarship is part of the Medical Student Financial Aid Scholarships Scheme at The University of Queensland. Established in 2024 through a gift from Simon and Alice Siu, together with Alumni Friends of The University of Queensland under the Queensland Commitment Scholarship Match Initiative, this scholarship honors Simon Siu, an Associate Professor of Surgery at Griffith University with over 45 years in the medical field. The scholarship supports students enrolled full-time in the Doctor of Medicine program who can demonstrate financial hardship. Applicants must provide a personal statement outlining their background, circumstances, financial need, and attempts to overcome difficulties. Selection is based on demonstrated financial need and the strength of the personal statement. The scholarship is maintained by income generated from an endowment fund and aims to alleviate the burden of costly medical education, reflecting Dr. Siu's commitment to supporting future generations of medical professionals.
