John Bush Memorial Top-Up Scholarship
These prestigious top up scholarships are available to help support Thai-born graduate research students with living costs undertaking Research Doctorate and Research Masters degrees at a Monash campus in Australia. The John Bush Memorial Top-Up Scholarships are awarded in addition to a Monash centrally allocated scholarship such as a Monash Graduate Scholarship.
These scholarships are generously made possible through the John Bush Memorial Fund. The late Mr John Bush, a WW2 veteran, businessman and Melbourne based philanthropist, had a longstanding affinity for Thailand and its culture. Mr Bush generously made provisions in his will for the establishment of The John Bush Memorial Fund, an enduring legacy that will go on to support the educational needs of Thai-born students in need of financial assistance.
