About This Opportunity

The W. H. And H. W. Harris Bursary is a scholarship for female undergraduate students at the University of Queensland who have demonstrated exceptional academic excellence. The scholarship is awarded to a female student who completed at least 14 units in the previous year and achieved the highest results, and who attended a Queensland high school in the year prior to the scholarship year. Originally established in 1969 by a bequest from Mrs Bessie Florence Harris in memory of her late husband William Henry Harris, a former Headmaster who served in both World Wars, and their son Hector William, who was lost on active service in 1947. Preference is given to lineal descendants of persons eligible for membership with the Australian War Widows Queensland. The scholarship may be held for up to 3 years and one award is made annually.
