The Aboriginal Health Pathways Scholarships

The purpose of the Scholarship is to provide support for Aboriginal students to access and attain tertiary qualifications in health and human services or related disciplines, increase Aboriginal student awareness of the health sector employment opportunities and networks, to increase access to health services by Aboriginal communities, families and individuals through a skilled Aboriginal health workforce. It is offered within the School of Health Sciences, School of Medicine, School of Nursing and Midwifery, or School of Physiotherapy. The Scholarship provides financial support to recipients which may be used to assist with general living and educational expenses. Seven recipients per year are selected who best demonstrate academic merit, adverse circumstances, personal circumstances warranting special consideration, and personal determination to work in a health context.
