Academic Governance

The University Club Inc, which provides services to members at the University of Tasmania, has decided to offer financial support to students at the University by funding two annual scholarships to encourage enrolment in honours level study.
The Academic Senate of the University has agreed to the foundation of a scholarship.  These are the rules:
