Nick Llewellyn-Jones Indigenous Business Scholarship

This scholarship supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students studying the Bachelor of Business, Business Economics, or Commerce at Flinders University, helping them to advance their business knowledge and skills.

Team Leader of the Native Title, Resources and Renewable Energy Team at Normans Waterhouse lawyers, Nick Llewellyn-Jones identified a need to develop greater Indigenous representation in commercial negotiation and business decision-making especially for projects and major developments which are undertaken on Native Title land.

The Scholarship has been established through a generous donation from Nick Llewellyn-Jones.

Each Scholarship will have a value of $10,000 per annum to be paid in equal instalments after the census date of each semester.

One Scholarship will be available per annum for the duration of the funding period.

Applicants for the scholarship must:

• be of Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent; and
• identify as an Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander; and
• be accepted as an Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander by the community in which they live or have lived; and
• normally be enrolled full-time at Flinders University*; and
• be enrolled in the second or subsequent year of the Bachelor of Business, Business Economics or Commerce; and
• have a minimum GPA of 4.0; and
• be able to demonstrate an interest in a career in business; and
• not be in receipt of a similar scholarship.

Preference will be given to applicants who are members of a Registered Native Title Body Corporate (RNTBC) in Australia, or who have a parent, sibling, or other culturally appropriate family member who is a current member of an RNTBC.

Previous recipients may reapply; however, priority may be given to students who have not previously received this scholarship.

*Scholarships are available to part-time students in exceptional circumstances, which include (but are not limited to) disability, illness or carer responsibilities. Part-time scholarship recipients will receive the same annual value as full-time scholarship recipients.
