Amber Weatherstone Memorial Scholarship

Overview

The Amber Weatherstone Memorial Scholarship was established by the graduating Medicine class of 2005, together with Amber’s family, to remember an active and much loved student in our School whose aspirations to practice in the sports medicine area were never to be realised.

In collaboration with the Department of Sports Medicine at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra, a University of Tasmania student receiving the Amber Weatherstone Memorial Scholarship will spend up to five weeks in the Department of Sports Medicine at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra to gain a greater insight and understanding of the discipline.
