About this scholarship
Each year the Australian National University may offer an award known as the Robert and Rosemary Walsh Scholarship.
The objective of the Award is to provide financial support to a student who identifies as first in their family to attend University, to undertake undergraduate studies at ANU. A student is considered first generation (or first in family) if their parents (or guardians) have not attended university. A student is first generation even if their siblings and/or other members of their family have attended university. First generation students include those with an Out of Home Care (OOHC) experience.
Funding for this Award has been provided by alumni Robert and Rosemary Walsh. Robert graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in history and political science and a Bachelor of Laws (First Class Honours). Rosemary graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English literature and psychology and was a foundation resident of Bruce Hall.
