Overview

The Tuckwell Scholarship Program is an undergraduate scholarship at the Australian National University in Canberra, aimed at school-leavers. The programme states that it offers 25 scholarships each year.

It is unusual among Australian undergraduate awards in what it asks of recipients. By its own description the programme is about participation rather than payment alone — scholars are expected to take an active part in university life, and the scholarship is built around that involvement as much as around financial support.

Who it is aimed at

School-leavers applying to ANU. Because the number of awards is small and fixed, selection is highly competitive, and the application asks about more than academic results.

Before you apply

We hold limited detail on this award beyond what the programme publishes, and its requirements and closing dates are set by ANU rather than by us. Read the programme's own page, linked below, for the current eligibility criteria, the selection process and the closing date — and start early, because applications of this kind typically require referees and written responses.
