About this scholarship:

Established in 2024 through a gift from Helen Tanner, together with Alumni Friends of The University of Queensland under the Queensland Commitment Scholarship Match Initiative. The scholarship honours Dr Philip Robinson, who completed both his PhD and post-doctoral fellowship at UQ. Dr Robinson was a leader and pioneer in the field of Rheumatology through his successful research and collaboration focusing on gout and axial spondylarthritis. The scholarship aims to support the next generation of medical practitioners, who may otherwise not have been able to receive a valuable education without the support of this scholarship. It is the hope that this scholarship will support generations of future doctors to help advance the sustainability of the medical workforce in Queensland and beyond.

The Scholarship will be maintained by income generated from an endowment fund.
