Support to become role models in the community

The support, for two students per year, aims to reduce financial pressures, allowing them to achieve their studies to the best of their abilities. Demonstrating a commitment to the University’s Reconciliation Action Plan, one scholarship per year is awarded to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student.

The 2022 Flinders NT Health Scholarship was also awarded to first year medical student Jason Wilmot, who has spent the past ten years working in preventative health services within the Alice Springs region.

“I have worked extensively with the community in an effort to increase health prevention strategies through nutrition and exercise training programs,” says Jason, who is now looking forward to when he graduates and can continue improving the health of his local community.

“When I complete my Doctor of Medicine degree I’ll be ready to enter the world of acute care - the next step in a career that will be aimed at helping health care in the Northern Territory, especially its remote communities.”

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. Please donate today to help us realise this vision.

You can support the development of health professionals in the Northern Territory by donating to the Flinders NT Health Scholarship. Together we can ensure Flinders NT students can make a positive and long-term difference to the health of all Territorians.

100% of your tax-deductible donation will support Flinders University students in our Northern Territory health and medical programs, who are experiencing financial hardship.
