About this scholarship
The Elspeth Young Memorial Grants have been made possible by the generous bequest from Dr Elspeth Young to provide financial support to Indigenous Australian undergraduate and graduate students at the Australian National University. This support will be directed to costs necessary and incidental to studies, but not including any fees.
There is limited funding available so unfortunately it is not always possible for the committee to approve, or approve in full, all applications.
