Amuthan Memorial Indigenous Scholarship

This scholarship was established in honour of Amuthan Annamalai, a Year 6 medical student at JCU who passed away in 2013. 
He was passionate about enabling Indigenous Australians to access tertiary education and his father, who established this scholarship, hopes this scholarship will go a small way towards boosting participation of Indigenous students in non-traditional study areas of science, engineering, IT and pharmacy.
