Simon Siu Medical Scholarship

The Simon Siu Medical Scholarship provides financial assistance to Doctor of Medicine students at The University of Queensland who are experiencing financial hardship. The scholarship offers $4,500 AUD for one year to support medical students in completing their studies. 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 esteemed Associate Professor of Surgery at Griffith University with over 45 years in the medical field. Recognizing the financial challenges faced by medical students, Simon Siu established this scholarship at his alma mater to 'pay it forward' and alleviate the burden of costly medical education. The scholarship is maintained by income generated from an endowment fund and aims to support future generations in navigating the evolving and often expensive landscape of medicine.
