About

The Faculty of Arts 110 Scholarship, commemorating 110 years of the Faculty, aims to ensure that an Arts degree continues to be accessible to all students, no matter their background.

We want to ensure that as many students as possible are able to access a high quality Arts education at the University. We want to nurture a new generation of thinkers and leaders through The Faculty of Arts and we are committed to increasing access and equity and assisting students who may struggle to find the means to come to the University.

It is for this very reason that we have established The Faculty of Arts 110 Scholarship Fund to increase support for those students who have demonstrated the skill and creative acumen to excel, but who struggle to afford a university education or are hampered by circumstances beyond their control. The Faculty of Arts 110 Scholarship Fund provides support for undergraduates and graduates who struggle financially, have relocated from rural areas and/or are Indigenous Australians.

We welcome the recent support of Melbourne Arts Students Society (M-ASS)
