Frances Doherty is proud to honour her father, Jack Doherty, whose activism to bring change for Indigenous students had an indelible impact on the University’s history. Nathan Towney, Pro Vice-Chancellor Indigenous Strategy and Leadership was the 2003 recipient of the Jack Doherty Undergraduate Scholarship for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students.

Nik Ynez is the 2023 recipient of the Patricia Jensen Arts Scholarship, established from the estate of Patricia Jensen (nee Smith) to honour her love of literature and the arts. Thanks to ongoing support from a generous donor, the scholarship continues to encourage students to achieve their dreams through education.

More than forty years since the chance meeting at West Lake in Hangzhou, China that sparked the friendship between Jack Ma and the Morley family, the Ma & Morley scholars visited China for a unique cultural exchange.
