RA Simpson International Scholarship is now open for applications from suitably qualified students. It is a fully funded scholarship for all students sponsored by the Flinders University.
About the University
In Adelaide, South Australia, there is a public university called Flinders University. It was established in 1966 and is called in honor of the explorer and surveyor of the South Australian coastline in the early 19th century, Matthew Flinders.
The RA Simpson International Scholarship was made possible by a kind donation from the family of the late Mr. Robert Allen Simpson, a founding member of the Flinders University Council and recipient of an honorary degree.
The scholarship’s goal is to help students complete a portion of their course of study abroad. With an international perspective, their studies at Flinders University will be improved.
Benefits of RA Simpson International Scholarship
Subject to the availability of funding, one or more scholarships valued at either $1,000 (for semester) or $500 (for short term) will be awarded in each semester.
The number of scholarships to be awarded will be determined by the RA Simpson Memorial Fund Management Committee.
