Ramsay Undergraduate Scholarships

The Ramsay Undergraduate Scholarships are awarded to high-achieving school leavers who enrol in specially designed Western Civilisation programs as part of single or combined degrees at one of three partner Australian universities. Up to 90 scholarships are offered each year and include a tailored scholarly experience with small class sizes, academic mentoring and cultural activities. The program gives preference to applicants from under-represented backgrounds including regional, rural or remote areas, low socio-economic backgrounds, and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander persons. Scholarship recipients participate in a great books-style Western Civilisation curriculum covering philosophical, literary, political, religious, historical and artistic works.

$20,000 p.a. for up to three years; access to on-campus accommodation; one return economy airfare allowance for approved study abroad; access to a Ramsay Scholars Common Room; possible additional $12,000 p.a. for eligible interstate or regional applicants.

Open to high-achieving school leavers who enrol in Western Civilisation undergraduate programs at one of the partner universities (University of Queensland, University of Wollongong or Australian Catholic University). Preference is given to applicants from under-represented backgrounds including regional, rural or remote areas, low socio-economic backgrounds, and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander persons.
