A powerful vision for Northern Territory health

Flinders NT Health Scholarship

Flinders NT has a powerful vision to work in close partnership with local communities to develop a Northern Territory health workforce that prioritises its areas of greatest need.

To see this vision come to life, Professor Jonathan Craig, Vice President and Executive Dean of Flinders University’s College of Medicine and Public Health, has established the
Flinders NT Health Scholarship supporting two students per year with $5,000 each.

The scholarship aims to reduce inequity for Flinders NT students, allowing them to achieve their studies to the best of their abilities - without the burden of financial pressures.

“It has been such a privilege to work with so many wonderful students who are motivated by the desire to make a difference to the health of our community, through the transformative power of research and education,” says Professor Craig.

“It is my vision that Flinders NT provides an example of evidence-based, culturally safe community care that sets an example for the rest of Australia.”

Demonstrating a commitment to the University's Reconciliation Action Plan, one scholarship per year will be awarded to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student.

STRONGER TOGETHER - Show your support

In celebration of the Northern Territory Medical Program’s 10-year anniversary, Professor Craig announced that during October 2021 all donations to the Flinders NT Health Scholarship would be doubled.

The community donated $14,000 - which was dollar-matched by Professor Craig so that a total of $28,000 will now support Flinders NT health students.

"I want to sincerely thank those who gave generously to the Flinders NT Health Scholarship," says Professor Craig. "I am thrilled by the community response to support our NT health students."

Every dollar counts and you can still show your support by donating today to help even more students through the scholarship.

"Please join me in donating to support the development of health professionals in the Northern Territory through the scholarship," says Professor Craig.

"Together we can ensure Flinders NT students can make a positive and long-term difference to the health of all Territorians."

100% of your donation will support students in financial need who are studying a health-related degree at Flinders NT.
