The Roberta Sykes Indigenous Education Foundation provides supplementary financial assistance to Indigenous Postgraduate students who wish to undertake studies at any recognised overseas university.

The scholarship is offered for one year, but recipients may reapply for a subsequent year of the same program of study. The value of the Scholarship is up to a maximum of AUD $75,000.

Roberta Sykes Scholarships are jointly funded by the Australian Government (National Indigenous Australians Agency), the British High Commission (Chevening), Cambridge Australia Scholarships Ltd, Cambridge Commonwealth Trust, and the University of Cambridge.

Fifteen years ago, there had never been an Indigenous Australian studying full-time at Oxford or Cambridge. Since then, 33 Charlie Perkins Scholars have been accepted into full-time studies at these universities. To date, 28 have graduated.
The value of each Perkins Scholarship will vary, depending on the scholarship holder’s course of study.

It will cover up to three years full university and college fees, travel costs, and an annual stipend to cover living expenses.
These Postgraduate scholarships are particularly directed towards Indigenous Australians who have the potential to become leaders in their field of study and in their communities.

The RACP recognises the critical importance of culturally safe supervision for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander trainee doctors, and is leading a project to develop a suite of educational resources designed to upskill medical supervisors across Australia on providing culturally safe supervision.

The development of these resources is guided by an Indigenous-led Working Group of doctors and subject matter experts. The RACP is seeking more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander doctors to participate in the project. There are many ways to contribute, depending on your availability, expertise and interests. Get in touch to find out more.
