The Tomas Riha Scholarship

The Tomas Riha Scholarship is established to support domestic students enrolled full-time in a Bachelor of Economics or a dual program that includes the Bachelor of Economics at the University of Queensland. The scholarship provides $4,500 AUD and is awarded based on academic merit and demonstrated financial need. Established through a gift from the Riha family in 2022 under the Queensland Commitment matching scheme, the scholarship honors the memory of Associate Professor Tomas Riha and his work and achievements. Up to one scholarship may be awarded each year as tenure becomes vacant, with the scholarship duration covering the minimum completion time of the program in which the student is enrolled.
