Dennis McDermott Research Scholarships 2022 La Trobe University: The Dennis McDermott Research Scholarships will be awarded annually to Indigenous students of exceptional research who promise to undertake a higher degree by research at La Trobe University. The scholarship was established to celebrate the life of Professor Dennis McDermott, La Trobe’s inaugural Pro Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous). Professor McDermott was a Koori man from north-western New South Wales. He was a psychologist, academic, and poet, during his career writing and teaching extensively in the fields of health and Indigenous education. Within his short tenure at La Trobe, Professor McDermott had a huge impact on the University. His call to “decolonize the academy” will resonate at La Trobe for years to come and the work that he began to foster Indigenous knowledge and values in the academy will continue.
Up to two (2) scholarships will be awarded to the top-ranked applicants of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander origin to undertake doctoral research or a master by research degree at La Trobe. The scholarship is awarded in conjunction with a Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship, which provides an RTP Stipend, RTP Offset to cover tuition fees, and an RTP Allowance.
These scholarships are available to undertake a master by research or doctoral research project on any topic aligned to La Trobe’s areas of research strength, subject to the availability of supervision and research resources. Applicants may wish to apply for an advertised research project or develop their own research proposal. Successful applicants can commence this scholarship at any time up to 30 September 2022. Applicants must be Australian citizens or Australian Permanent residents.
