University of Notre Dame, Second Year Medicine

The Albert Coates/Australian Legion of Ex-Service Men and Women Scholarship at the University of Notre Dame was introduced in 2017 to support second year medical students completing studies in Ballarat as part of the course.

The award is valued at $3,000 and is intended to support placements being undertaken at the end of the second year into the third year of the course. In the first year two equal awards were presented.

The purpose of the scholarship is to promote regional health and practice as well as the work of the Albert Coates Memorial Trust by providing financial support to the Ballarat Clinical School MED4000 student who can best demonstrate how their elective term study at the end of MED4000 will reflect the values of Notre Dame and the values and example of the late Sir Albert Coates.
