Description
Established in 2025, the LT Seow Medical Scholarship has been generously funded in perpetuity by Dr Lea Thin Seow. Dr Seow’s 40-year career in anaesthesiology, including clinical work, teaching and research, was marked by her commitment to providing healthcare to communities. This scholarship was established to ensure that financial disadvantage does not hinder access to medical education for promising students who are passionate about pursuing a career in medicine.
Benefits
The scholarship will have a value of $10,000 per year for up to two years, to be paid in equal instalments after the census date of each semester. Awards made to third-year students will be for two years; awards to fourth-year students will be for one year. One scholarship will be awarded in each year that it is available, subject to funding.
Selection Criteria
The scholarship will be awarded based on financial need and the applicant’s demonstrated passion for pursuing a career in medicine. Specifically, preference will be given to applicants who have attained a prior degree and/or worked in a medical or health field, including but not limited to: nursing, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, dentistry, paramedicine, pharmacology, and allied health fields.
Selection will be undertaken by a panel comprising representatives from the College of Medicine and Public Health and Student Finance and Scholarships.
Applications should be submitted online through the Flinders University Student System by the specified closing date. Please read the how to apply page and ensure all of your personal details are up-to-date in the Student System as you will be assessed using this information.
