About this scholarship
The Toc H Award in the School of Nursing and Midwifery at The University of Queensland was established in 2008.
Toc H (Talbot House) first started in the First World War in Belgium as a refuge for the soldiers going to and from the front line. Today, it is a worldwide movement that undertakes projects for the aged, the lonely, disadvantaged children and others in need in the community.
Toc H funds are intended to assist international students or students from rural or remote areas with the cost of equipment, materials, and other study-related items to reduce the impact of relocating to study.
Rules
The purpose of the award is to provide assistance to a meritorious rural and/or remote student or an international student of the Bachelor of Nursing, Bachelor of Midwifery or the Bachelor of Nursing/Midwifery.
The selection committee includes the Director of Teaching and Learning, a representative of TocH and an academic staff member teaching in the field of Nursing or Midwifery. Support for the selection committee will be provided by the School Scholarships Officer.
