Scholarships, prizes and awards
Scholarships
Griffith University offers numerous scholarships every year to students who excel in various fields. A scholarship is a financial award to an individual for the purpose of furthering their education.
A scholarship is generally awarded based on a number of criteria, including: financial need, academic achievement, athletic achievement, accommodation, public service, nationality or ethnicity.
Our sponsors are given the opportunity to present their scholarship at our annual awards nights and are recognised in appropriate university publications.

- To reward today’s best and brightest students
Development and Alumni staff will assist prospective prize and award providers to create relevant and valued prizes and awards that meet the needs of the donor and Griffith University.
Mark Daniel Robinson Memorial Prize - 2007 Recipient
Andrew Pritchard
Andy is a well-liked, keen and popular undergraduate with a passion for the biomedical sciences. He is a hard-working, reliable and trustworthy individual who always demonstrates clear enthusiasm for life and a determined effort in his studies. He possesses a questioning mind and sense of wonder for the biological sciences and the world around him. As an individual, he is compassionate and patient towards others and offers guidance and assistance to fellow students having difficulties in understanding coursework or project material. His dedication towards his academic studies is admirable and, at present, he is a student leader and peer mentor to new 1st Year students within the School. In summary, the staff and undergraduate student cohort believe that Andy is highly deserving of this prize. Andy has decided to use the prize to purchase the necessary textbooks to continue his journey onwards to becoming a future medical researcher.
