The Australian National University (ANU) announced the recipients of the 2018 round of the Tuckwell Scholarship.

As scholarship recipients each of the 25 students from around Australia will receive over $21,000 per year towards their studies for up to five years, as well as mentoring from senior ANU leaders and researchers.

The scholarship program was founded in 2013 by philanthropists Graham and Louise Tuckwell.

“What is particularly pleasing is that we are seeing more really strong applicants from regional and remote parts of Australia,” Graham Tuckwell said.

“The scholarship isn’t just about rewarding academic excellence, it’s about finding those future leaders who are already making valuable contributions to their community even at such a young age.”

The Tuckwell Scholarship Program was founded in 2013 and is funded by a generous personal philanthropic contribution worth about $200 million to the University over 30 years.

The philanthropic contribution includes construction of two new halls of residence at ANU and a $10 million Scholars House building, which will be the academic and social heart of the Tuckwell Scholarship program.

The first scholarship recipients began their studies in 2014.
