Vincent and Carmel Forgione Scholarship in Philosophy

The Vincent and Carmel Forgione Scholarship in Philosophy supports undergraduate students enrolled in programs administered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at The University of Queensland with a major, extended major or field of study in Philosophy. The scholarship was established in 2022 through a gift from Ross Forgione in memory of his parents, Vincent and Carmel Forgione, to acknowledge their lives and ongoing legacy. The Donor wishes to support a scholarship in both Historical and Philosophical Inquiry and Law at the University—two areas of personal and professional focus and lifelong study. This scholarship provides financial assistance to students who demonstrate financial need and commitment to Philosophy, either through extracurricular or academic work. Where all other considerations are equal, preference may be given to students who demonstrate excellent academic achievement and future academic potential, and are interested in social and/or restorative justice. The scholarship provides $4,500 per year for up to four years to support full-time undergraduate or honours students facing financial hardship.
