ABOUT THE SCHOLARSHIP

Professor Shaw, a Fellow of ����BT, alumnus (TC 1935) and Dean (1922–1951), established the AGL Shaw scholarship in 2012.

The annual scholarship of $45,000 AUD is for tuition, residential and living costs.

Each year the scholarship is awarded to an alumnus of ����BT who is a graduate of the University of Melbourne.

The successful candidate will have been accepted into a postgraduate course at the University of Oxford. (Preference is given to students of history, with further weight given if the student is or will be a member of Christ Church.)
