Read moreThese two scholarships work together to support an excellent student in the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment. The 1968 Singapore Colombo Plan Students Scholarship supports a worthy student in the 2nd year of a program with the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment. 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.

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.

The Don McNair Herbarium was formally opened in 2003 and Don and his volunteers worked to maintain and expand the collections until his death in 2014. He believed that his collection "will be vital in recording environmental and plant changes, particularly in response to climate change".

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.

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.

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 no-where 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.

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. For more information, please review the full scholarship Terms and Conditions. | $15,000 | Closed |

Read moreIt is the intention of these scholarships to support students undertaking an honours research project into the role that user centred design can play in understanding and communicating healthy lifestyle behaviours. The successful recipients will be offered the opportunity to participate in a joint University of Newcastle/nib work integrated learning project which can be used as part of their honour’s curriculum. These scholarships were established by nib to support the initiatives that have a positive and lasting impact on nationwide health issues and sees user centred design research as solving the complex social problems these issues represent. Nib knows there is a nationwide shortage of user centred designers in Australia and recognises that the University of Newcastle’s, School of Creative Industries' Honours programs are addressing these critical skills shortages. It is anticipated that understanding the behaviour of both proactive health consumers and passive health consumers may inform the design of strategies to encourage the latter to take a more proactive approach to their health care. Research questions may be drawn from the following focus below. Young adults (21 – 31) are almost invisible to a health insurer until they need to leave their family policy. ConsiderExpectations vs reality gaps Setting them up for success Relevancy of private health insurance to them Personalisation and proactive support. Low health literacy contributes to increased health issues. Consider:Social determinants of health Technology to connect people Behavioural motivations for changeLow value vs high value care. Enriching and healthy international travel experiences in a post-COVID world. Consider:Speculative changes to critical travel safety factors. Health benefits of travel to different types of people Mental wellbeing of travellers post-COVID Links between Health Insurance and Travel Insurance. Traditional views of work and career patterns are changing. Consider:Productive labour, inclusion, healthy work, and good work-life balance Transitions between education, work and care while working from home Skills needed by workers and leaders Measures of productivity. Recipients of these scholarships will be offered the opportunity to undertake their honours’ research project as a combined work integrated learning placement at nib and attendance at relevant university classes. The project will use a joint supervisory model with a supervisory team consisting of 1 x principal supervisor from the University of Newcastle and 1 x associate supervisor from nib. Formal weekly joint supervisory meetings, typically 1 hour long, are to occur in both semesters. These will be held at the University of Newcastle, nib or over Zoom as needs dictate. This does not preclude any additional informal supervision, advice, guidance or instruction being provided by the principal and/or associate supervisors. The independent research/learning may occur on campus, at the site of research (nib), and other research sites to be determined by the requirements of the specific research project developed. Students will attend all required classes from the School of Creative Industries (Honours) as per the timetabled schedule.

Read moreThe Singapore Alumni Scholarship was established in 2011 by a committee of Singapore Alumni, chaired by Dr Peter Tay. This Singapore Alumni Scholarship Committee initiated fund-raising from Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who studied at the University of Newcastle. It is the intent that these scholarships be used to assist gifted students who are overcoming adversity to study at the University of Newcastle. To be eligible for this scholarship, students must be academically gifted but are also facing hardship from factors such as being from a low socio-economic background, coming from a rural or remote area, living with disabilities, or carer and/or parenting responsibilities. Donations for this Singapore Alumni Scholarship have come from Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who are UON Alumni. These individuals take great pride in the achievements of Singapore and value their relationship with UON. They hope that this Scholarship will further strengthen the relationship between Singapore and Australia. The University of Newcastle expects beneficiaries of this Scholarship to respect the values and aspirations of those who have made this very generous donation. The history of the Singapore Alumni Scholarships would not be complete without a special mention of UON alumnus and generous donor, Dr Peter Tay, who was instrumental in the establishment, governance and fundraising of the Singapore Alumni Scholarship Fund that supports these scholarships. 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.
