Read moreThese two scholarships work together to support an excellent student in the School of Engineering. The 1968 Singapore Colombo Plan Students Scholarship supports a worthy student in the 2nd year of a program with the School of Engineering. Should the student achieve the required results, the scholar will at the beginning of 3rd year be required to submit an essay on Singapore. If this is of an acceptable standard the scholar will automatically be given the 1968 Singapore Colombo Plan Students (Memorial) Scholarship to support 3rd year of their degree studies. The 1968 Singapore Colombo Plan Students Scholarship was established in 2008 by a group of Colombo Plan Students from Singapore who studied at the University of Newcastle from 1968 in the Faculty of Engineering, as it was then known. On the 40th anniversary of their first entering the University of Newcastle, and at a very different stage of their lives, the donors decided to establish a Scholarship to commemorate the fond and happy memories of their stay at Newcastle and to show their appreciation to the Australian and Newcastle community who helped them with their University education during their tender and formative years. Three of the original donors on seeing the benefit of the scholarship decided in 2010 to establish the 1968 Singapore Colombo Plan Students (Memorial) Scholarship which would allow them to continue to support the student in third year engineering, subject to meeting eligibility requirements. | $8,000 | Apply

Read moreThe intention of the scholarship is that it will support an Honours candidate whose project involves ecology identification or illustration of native flora, thus aligned with the goals of The Don McNair Herbarium. Dr Donald McNair, DSc honoris causa, University of Newcastle, lived his entire life in Newcastle. He combined a career as an auto-electrician with an extraordinary passion for plant taxonomy and ecology. He collected plant specimens within the Hunter Region, throughout NSW and interstate. His botanical training was formalized in the late 1950's by undertaking courses offered by The University of Newcastle, the Workers Education Association (WEA) and through interactions with plant taxonomists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney.

Read moreThis scholarship has been established by donations made to the Dr Bill Jonas Memorial Indigenous Fund. The fund was established with donations from the Wollotuka Institute, friends, family and community members who wished to honour Dr Bill Jonas’s significant contribution to Wollotuka and the University of Newcastle. Dr Jonas, a proud Worimi man, is widely regarded as a pioneer of Indigenous rights. Dr Jonas’ list of impressive achievements includes contributions as an academic, activist and administrator. Dr Jonas, the first Aboriginal Australian to be awarded a PhD and the nation’s second Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner, died on the 25th May 2019. Bill studied Geography at the University of Newcastle’s predecessor, Newcastle University College, graduating with honours in 1963 and completing a Diploma in Education the following year. He taught at Maitland Boys High School (1964-1967) and took postgraduate studies in Geography at the University of Newcastle. He took up a lectureship at the University of Papua New Guinea (1969-1973), where he earned his PhD, the first awarded to an Aboriginal person. He returned to Australia to teach at the University of Newcastle (1974-1991), establishing perhaps the first university geography course on Aboriginal Australia in the early 1980s. Bill contributed to ground-breaking studies of Aboriginal needs in NSW. He led important innovations in Aboriginal studies at Newcastle and supported the influential Newcastle Awabakal Aboriginal Cooperative before his appointment as a Royal Commissioner on the Inquiry into the British Nuclear Tests in Australia (1984-85) – the Maralinga Inquiry led by Diamond Jim McClelland. Bill subsequently led work in Aboriginal heritage protection, for which he was honoured with an Order of Australia Medal for services to protection and preservation of Aboriginal heritage and culture (1993). He was Principal of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (1991-1996), Director of the National Museum of Australia (1996-1999) and Social Justice Commissioner and Acting Race Relations Commissioner (1999-2004). After his retirement Bill continued as a member of the University of Newcastle Council, Director of the NSW Aboriginal Health College and commentator on issues of human rights, social justice and Indigenous recognition. Bill’s importance as a public intellectual was widely recognised by his peers and he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Newcastle in 1998 and the Institute of Australian Geographers’ Professional Service Medal in 1999.

Read moreThis scholarship was established by Helen Maslen to support students who are survivors of domestic violence, empowering them to achieve their education ambitions and independence. Helen grew up in Sydney and married young. In the ensuing twenty years she had five children and was the victim of repeated domestic violence at the hands of her husband. With no support, no finances and five children to care for, Helen had nowhere to go in a time when domestic violence was very much swept under the carpet and authorities had no power to intervene. Helen vowed, should she ever come into money, she would use it to help others who have also been traumatised by domestic violence. Helen hopes that her scholarship will empower survivors by providing opportunity through education – giving domestic violence survivors strength, independence and the ability to achieve their dreams. The impacts of domestic violence can be felt many years post violence and may affect the survivor’s ability to study. Research data shows that significant recovery can occur when the survivor has access to social, educational or financial support such as this scholarship. Some survivors may describe their experiences as being both negative and positive in terms of the strength and empowerment gained in the survival process. Accessing higher education and support available can contribute to this important positive sense of surviving. This scholarship is open to students enrolled or enrolling in enabling, undergraduate, and postgraduate coursework levels of study.

Read moreJoy Ingall (née Davis) demonstrated a natural talent for the piano early in her life. Her aptitude and dedication, coupled with her mother's support, saw her graduate from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music with Diploma and Licentiate Certificates. Her ability was also recognised by the ABC, who featured her in radio broadcasts. Joy pursued her musical studies in the UK, eventually meeting and marrying her husband there. Returning to Australia, she raised six children and as a result, her musical career receded into the background. However, there were still occasional performances at public gatherings, such as parties and meetings of the Labour party. It was at one such function that she met Norman Bushman who, with his passion for music, recognised her talent and encouraged her to pursue her musical career. As a first step, she began giving lessons and played a key role in nurturing many fine musicians. Sadly, she succumbed to cancer before she could fulfill all her dreams and the hopes of supporters like Mr Bushman. Out of a deep respect for her dedication and musicianship, Norman Bushman took on the support of her family and made a commitment to keeping her memory alive. This scholarship provides tangible evidence of his commitment. | $15,000 | Apply

Peter showed exceptional leadership with his peer-to-peer fundraising efforts and from 2011 until today, Peter has tirelessly rallied his fellow Singapore alumni from UON to donate towards the Fund. After three fund-raising campaigns, the Singapore Alumni Scholarship Fund needed A$170,000 to reach its target. Peter spearheaded a Golden Jubilee campaign, as part of the 50th anniversary of the University in 2015. That goal was achieved and surpassed, and the fund has now reached over A$500,000 and can support at least five students each year. Peter continues to consistently update his fellow Singapore Alumni on the Fund, showing them the impact that their donations is making to students in need. This scholarship also includes the named CHIN Swui Sen for Singapore Alumni Scholarship for students in STEM or Business Studies. Students applying for this scholarship should also consider applying for the Shaping Futures Scholarship. Past recipients of the Singapore Alumni Scholarship may consider applying for the Singapore Alumni (follow on) Scholarship and the Catherine and Peter Tay for Singapore Alumni (follow on) Scholarship.

Read moreThis scholarship was established by Ms. Dianne Allen to acknowledge her grandfather, Frank Kent. Frank was born in Croydon, England in 1903. His family moved to Australia in 1910 and resided in the Singleton area. Frank received a scholarship (100 pounds) from the Northern Districts Agricultural Society in 1920 that enabled him to undertake a Diploma of Agriculture at the Hawkesbury Agricultural College. After graduating, Frank held positions at a stud and research farm in Werribee, Victoria. He then returned to Singleton and with his father, purchased a 200-acre farm (dairying and lucerne). Frank’s focus was on applying agricultural science to pasture improvement and irrigation methods, in a practical and economic manner, to achieve profitable operations. At age 36, Frank enlisted in the army where he served in the 2/30 Battalion during World War II and was based in Darwin during the Japanese bombing in February 1942. Frank was discharged from the army in 1946 and was appointed Farm Manager at the CSIRO Experimental Station in Katherine NT. He also served 12 years as manager of Berrimah Experimental Farm specialising in plant introduction. In 1959 he wrote the book “Introduction to Agriculture in the Upper Half of the Northern Territory”. His contribution to agriculture in the Northern Territory was recognised with a street at the Katherine Experimental Station named after him as well as a pasture grass (Andropon gayanus Kunth (gamba grass) cv Kent). Frank was a community minded person. He stood for the seat of Batchelor in the Northern Territory Legislative Council election in 1947 and for the seat of Darwin in 1951. He also supported many charities and fundraising efforts. Frank recognised the benefits of education, supporting his children and grandchildren in undertaking tertiary study. He was a lifelong advocate of the value of education and was very proud that his three granddaughters attended this University. Frank died in 1985. His final act reflected his commitment to science and education, leaving his body to research. For more information on this scholarship, please review the full Terms and Conditions. | $5,000 | Apply
