About the University of Queensland and Scholarship

A variety of support and student services are maintained by the University of Queensland. Student Centers on the campuses in St. Lucia and Gatton offer support and informational services.

The donor wants to help a student in need pursue an MPhil degree (or equivalent) in the study of classical literature, ancient history, ancient philosophy, or archaeology of the ancient Mediterranean through their donation. They have a preference for research about the study of the language and culture of ancient Greece.

The Elias and Ellene Eliadis Scholarship is given in honor of Dr. Paul Eliadis AM’s parents, whose mother was born in Sydney of Greek parents who were originally from the island of Samos and whose father was born on the island of Karpathos and immigrated to Australia just before World War Two in pursuit of a brighter future. This award honors their lives and recognizes how their families and aspirations have brought the two nations closer together.

Rules

The criteria and conditions of the Schedule A Postgraduate Research Scholarships apply to this generous HDR Living scholarship. All beneficiaries of charitable scholarships are expected to adhere to the terms of the UQ research and travel scholarships, including the reporting and progress standards.

These philanthropic scholarship recipients are required to mention the awards in any publication that is published as a consequence of the study that was carried out when they were recipients of the fellowship.

The scholarship recipient may also be asked to give a presentation on the work completed while receiving the award; in this instance, they must accept the invitation or risk losing the scholarship. The information you provide in your application is gathered for three reasons: to decide if you are eligible for the scholarship, to choose the recipients, and to administer the grant. The University of Queensland may reveal the information you provide to the Donor to fulfill the above goals. The University will not otherwise disclose the information to a third party without your consent unless permitted or required by law.

On a case-by-case basis, scholarships may be considered for domestic part-time students who have caregiving duties, a medical condition, or a handicap that prohibits them from studying full-time.
