TUCKWELL Scholarship

    Tuckwell Scholarship for 2025

Australian National University (ANU) launched the Tuckwell Scholarship Program in 2013.  The Tuckwell Scholarship Program at the ANU is the most transformational undergraduate scholarship program in Australia.  A Tuckwell is not just about a students’ intellect.  It is also about their desire and determination to use their natural abilities to realise their full potential so that they can make a difference in the world.  All up one could say, this is no ordinary scholarship!

Scholarships are awarded based on four criteria:

• academic potential and achievements to date;
• other significant achievements to date, of any type;
• demonstration of the Attributes of a Tuckwell Scholar; and
• a desire to eventually give back to Australia.

Tuckwell Scholar students receive:

• $26,000 per annum (2024 rate) (increasing with inflation) for each year of the length of their undergraduate degree, to cover on-campus residential costs, books, and general living expenses
• from 2024, a one-off payment of $1,500 relocation grant for first year Scholars.
• priority access guaranteed to ANU-approved student accommodation
• travel allowances to assist with the move to Canberra and to support two annual return journeys (e.g. airfares) between the Scholar’s home and the University for each year of their degree.
• an allowance to help cover the transport costs for their parents to attend Commencement Weekend at the start of the program, and
• an  ANU Sports Centre membership for the length of their degree.

Applications will open in March 2024.  For more information browse Tuckwell Scholarship.
