Amuthan Memorial Indigenous Scholarship

Mr. Anna Sundaram established this scholarship in honour of his late son, Amuthan Annamalai, a Year 6 medical student at James Cook University who passed away in 2013.

Amuthan was passionate about enabling Indigenous Australians to access tertiary education and Mr Sundaram hopes this scholarship will go a small way towards boosting participation of Indigenous students in non-traditional study areas of science, engineering, IT and pharmacy.
