The scholarship is maintained by income generated from the underlying endowment fund and focuses on supporting students from regional, rural, or remote areas who face financial hardship. Preference is given to applicants from Regional, Rural or Remote areas. The scholarship can be used toward accommodation costs and general financial support.
