About this scholarship
Each year the Research School of Social Sciences (‘the School’), within the College of Arts and Social Sciences (‘the College’) may offer an award known as the Joy and Norman Wheatley Rural Scholarship (‘the Award’).
The objective of the Award is to support undergraduate students from a rural, regional or remote background undertaking the Bachelor of Arts and/or the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) focusing their studies on Australian History, or Philosophy.
Funding for this Award has been provided by ANU alumni Joy and Norman Wheatley. Joy and Norm Wheatley both hail from rural backgrounds and worked hard to meet the costs of living and support their education when they came to ANU to study. Through their endowed scholarship, Joy and Norm now seek to ensure that future generations of rural students have access to higher education opportunities, reflecting their belief in the transformative power of education and their commitment to giving back to their community.
