About this scholarship
Established in 2019 by the Frazer Family Foundation under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative and maintained by income generated from the endowment fund. As Co-Chairs of the ‘Not if, when’ campaign, Professor Ian Frazer AC FRS and Mrs Caroline Frazer (MEdSt ’97) understand the transformative power of education and the importance of access to education for promising students, regardless of financial or economic background. Through this gift, they hope to support students interested in undertaking a rewarding and meaningful career in medicine. This Scholarship has been created to empower and support future medical professionals and researchers to enable them to make a lasting impact on society.
