In 2022 the Australian National University ('the University') may offer an award known as the Ithaca Scholarship ('the Award').
The objective of the Award is to support a scholarship for a domestic student from an educationally disadvantaged background, and who is from a rural or regional area.
Funding for this Award has been provided by Professor Rod McDonald, CoS alumnus, who is a strong advocate of the power of education to change lives and enable disadvantaged students to study at the University.
