Helping medical students in financial hardship

The AMA Queensland Foundation has opened 2025 applications for Medical Student Scholarships. 

Scholarships of $10,000 paid in two equal instalments will be awarded to up to three financially disadvantaged medical students this year.

Eligibility requirements

Applications will be considered from students who are:

• Studying an MBBS course or equivalent at a university in Queensland as a full-time student, 
• Holding a GPA of 4.0 or above. 
• An Australian Citizen, New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent visa holder.
• Able to demonstrate financial disadvantage.

Medicine is a long degree with increasing commitments, and it’s not always possible for medical students to do paid work alongside their studies. 

“The scholarship aims to provide a helping hand to those students most in need of financial support, enabling them to keep studying and realise their dreams of becoming a doctor,” Dr Dilip Dhupelia, AMA Queensland Foundation Chair said. 

In 2024, the Foundation was able to award scholarships to three medical students, with an additional student funded by the Indian Medical Association of Queensland (IMAQ) under the Sponsor one Student (SoS) initiative.
