This Scholarship has been established by Miss Jean Gilmore, a gifted student who studied Law at the University of Adelaide obtaining distinguished results.

One scholarship shall be awarded to a student commencing the Bachelor of Laws program, including double degrees, at the University of Adelaide.

Applicants must be Australian citizens or permanent residents of Australia undertaking study as a Commonwealth Supported student and must remain enrolled on a full time basis in the program for which the Scholarship was approved.

Selection of the successful candidate will be made according to academic merit and financial need.

Academic merit for commencing students will be determined according to ATAR or equivalent scores. Academic merit for students who have studied previous post secondary studies will be based on Grade Point Average (GPA) or equivalent scores. 

Students must be able to demonstrate financial need and be able to provide supporting documentary evidence at the time of application, e.g. details of income tested Commonwealth income support payment, such as Youth Allowance, Austudy, ABSTUDY benefits, or other details of their financial circumstances.

The Scholarship must be taken up in the year in which it is offered; acceptance of the Scholarship offer cannot be deferred. If a student declines the Scholarship offer, the Scholarship will be offered to the next eligible student.

Students in receipt of other University of Adelaide scholarships are not eligible for this scholarship.
