Betty Fletcher Memorial Travelling Scholarship

Established in 1992 as a memorial to Betty Fletcher, foundation Patron of the Friends of Antiquity and generous benefactor of the Department of Classics and Ancient History. Until 2019, the Scholarship was maintained by an annual gift from the Alumni Friends of The University of Queensland, made on behalf of Friends of Antiquity. Following a 2020 donation by Alumni Friends of The University of Queensland, in conjunction with and on behalf of Friends of Antiquity, the Scholarship is now maintained from the Betty Fletcher Memorial Travelling Scholarship Endowment Fund.
