C.A.S. Hawker Scholarship for 2026
Valued at up to $75,000 over three years, and open to Australian citizens, the C.A.S. Hawker Scholarship commemorates the achievements of one of Australia's most respected pastoral pioneers who served with distinction in the First World War and went on to become a distinguished scholar and leading figure in the Federal Parliament prior to his tragic, and untimely death in an aircraft accident in 1938.
The scholarships have been awarded almost equally to male and female applicants. Scholarship holders have come from every sector of Australian society and graduated from government, catholic and private schools. The majority of scholarships are awarded to students entering their first year of university. Past awardees have studied law, politics, economics, medicine, and arts. Hawker Scholars are now working in Australia, Europe, the USA, and Asia.
Applications for the 2026 Hawker Scholarship opened on 2 November 2026 and close early December 2026.
