Indigenous Postgraduate Professional Psychology Scholarship at UNE 2024

For Indigenous students, access to higher education is a significant challenge when it comes to finances. Because of the ongoing underrepresentation of Indigenous students in post-graduate clinical psychology schools, the percentage of registered psychologists who are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander psychologists is substantially below 1%. To address these significant workforce shortages, we want to retain, encourage, and assist our Indigenous students as they pursue careers as clinical psychologists by providing a scholarship for each full-time year in our Clinical Psychology program at UNE.
