Matthews Lawyers Disability Law Scholarship

Flinders Law graduate Eugenia (Jenny) Matthews of Matthews Lawyers has established the Scholarship to support students living with a disability that impacts their learning and are keen to pursue their educational goals. The scholarship aims to help students overcome learning difficulties and succeed in their law degree.

Each Scholarship will have a value of $3,000 paid in two equal instalments after the census date of each semester.

*This includes, but is not limited to, a specific learning disability such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia and auditory processing disorder, and other disabilities which impact learning such as ADHD and autism.
