The scholarship is valued at $36,323 per year and is tenable for up to four years for the duration of undergraduate studies. Recipients receive both a stipend allowance of $20,000 per annum and a tuition contribution of $16,323. Selection is based on a personal statement, enrollment in an eligible major, and demonstrated Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent.
