Description

The World Universities Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship supports young Australians to undertake graduate study at the world’s best universities (e.g. Oxford, Cambridge, UCL, Harvard, Princeton, Bologna etc.) for one, two and, in select cases, three years of graduate coursework and/or research.

The St John’s College Annapolis Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship supports young Australians to undertake the Master of Arts in the Liberal Arts at St John’s focusing on the great books of the western canon. Students will also have an opportunity to participate in an internship program in an area of interest in Washington DC. The aim of the education at St John’s is the liberation of the human intellect. By reading great books and struggling together with the fundamental questions that they raise, students and their teachers learn from their differences and discover more deeply their shared humanity. From conversations around the seminar table and beyond, students leave St. John’s intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling.

Eligibility

Ramsay scholars will be selected on the basis of:

Strength of character, leadership qualities, and commitment to serve others as demonstrated by their contribution to the community, public debate or professional involvement.
Outstanding academic achievement, and breadth and depth of intellectual vision.
Commitment to advancing a richer and deeper understanding of our civilisation obtained through the study of its history, philosophy, legal and political systems, religion, literature and languages, science and social sciences, music, art and architecture.

Students applying for the World Universities Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship will need to have secured a place in a graduate program at UQ before finalising their application.

The scholarships are granted for commencement of study in the year of application.
