Outline

The purpose of the Award is to support Indigenous students to undertake a research project in the discipline of Ophthalmology in the fourth year of their medical degree.

While Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander identity is unique and sacred to every person, UNSW scholarships for Indigenous students will require proof of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander identity and heritage. If you have not already provided proof of identity and heritage to Nura Gili, any Indigenous specific scholarship offer made by UNSW Scholarships will be conditional upon receipt of proof of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander heritage to Nura Gili as outlined on the Nura Gili website. For more information, please visit: Indigenous Confirmation Declaration.

  • Be currently enrolled full-time in a Bachelor of Medical Studies/Doctor of Medicine; and
  • Be undertaking a research project (ILP or Honours Year) in the discipline of Ophthalmology in the 4th year of study

Selection

Applicants will be assessed on the basis of:

  • Academic Merit
  • Aptitude and commitment to studies in an area of Ophthalmology

You must provide evidence supporting the above criteria in your online application. Please refer to the Scholarship Application Supporting Documents for a detailed list of examples.

Unanswered application questions or claims without supporting documentation will not be assessed. Late applications/supporting documentation will not be accepted.
