Aldinga Plains Scholarship for an Indigenous Student

This Scholarship to support an indigenous student has been established by a descendant of George and Anne Lovelock, who migrated with their children from England in 1839, and established a farm at Aldinga in the early 1840’s.  The Scholarship has been established in acknowledgement of the Kaurna people’s relationship with this land.

This Scholarship is open to students who are indigenous Australians and undertaking a undergraduate level program in a Commonwealth supported place at the University of Adelaide.  The tenure of the scholarship is 1 year with a value of $1,000.

Students must be able to demonstrate financial need and be able to provide supporting documentary evidence at the time of application, e.g. details of income tested Commonwealth income support payment, such as Youth Allowance, Austudy, ABSTUDY benefits, or other details of their financial circumstances.

The Scholarship will provide assistance with educational/living costs subject to the student’s satisfactory academic progress and continuing financial need. Selection of the successful candidate will be made according to academic merit and financial need.  Academic merit will be determined according to candidates’ TER score or cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) derived from their previous tertiary studies.

Students may have an opportunity to meet the Scholarship donor during the academic year.

Students in receipt of other University of Adelaide scholarships may apply for this Scholarship.
