Queenie Gibbins Scholarship in Science (Biotechnology)

Mrs Queenie Gibbins, a supporter of the University, has a particular interest in assisting students in emerging areas of scientific study. This scholarship was established to assist with the retention and success of students in these fields of study. 

The scholarship is funded by a donation from Mrs Queenie Gibbins. 

Subject to the availability of funds, there will be one or more scholarships awarded annually to a total value of $5,000. 

The scholarship is awarded for one year of full-time study (36 units) or its part-time equivalent, subject to the scholarship holder maintaining their enrolment in the relevant degree and satisfactory academic progress. 

The scholarship will be paid in instalments at the beginning of each semester.
