The Thomas Crawford University of Tasmania Merit Scholarship is provided through the generous bequest to the University by the late Thomas A Crawford. Thomas was an American citizen who came to Tasmania in the 1960’s to study at the University in Hobart. His gift to the University will provide opportunities for Tasmanian, interstate and other school leavers demonstrating academic excellence and need in Years 11 and 12 to study a diverse range of academic disciplines at the University of Tasmania.

Selection for this scholarship will be based on excellent achievement in studies in Years 11 and 12 and a high tertiary entrance score, or equivalent International Baccalaureate.
