The Humanitarian Medical Scholarship

The Humanitarian Medical Scholarship is offered by the ANU School of Medicine and Psychology to provide financial support to students from refugee backgrounds pursuing medical education. The objective of the Award is to provide one postgraduate scholarship for up to four years to a student who is from a refugee background, undertaking the Doctor of Medicine and Surgery program at the Australian National University. This scholarship provides comprehensive support including a substantial annual stipend and full fee waiver to enable humanitarian visa holders to complete their medical education. Funding for the 2023 Award was generously provided by the John James Foundation, demonstrating a commitment to expanding access to medical education for displaced and refugee populations.
