=Tuckwell Scholarship= The Tuckwell Scholarship, named after Australian businessman and philanthropist Graham Tuckwell, is an undergraduate scholarship for Australian students to study at the Australian National University. With a total monetary value of over A$100,000, it is considered to be one of Australia's most prestigious undergraduate scholarships – and described by the university's Vice-Chancellor as "Australia’s most prestigious undergraduate scholarship". As described on the Scholarship's official website, it was created with the aim "to see highly talented and motivated school leavers fulfil their potential and reinvest their knowledge, skills and experience in ways that positively benefit others".

Established in 2013, the Scholarship is funded in perpetuity by a donation of $150 million from Graham and Louise Tuckwell – the largest donation ever made to an Australian university. Tuckwell Scholars may study a full-time course in any discipline offered by the university, including single or double undergraduate programs, honours, and vertical degrees (combining undergraduate and graduate study).

Selection Process
The selection process for the Tuckwell Scholarship is comprised of three rounds of applications, including written applications, references, and interviews. The first two rounds are written applications submitted online, while the third involves a combination of individual and group interviews held at the ANU campus.

The Tuckwell Scholarship website states that scholarships are awarded to "exemplary students" and "highly talented and motivated school leavers". It further specifies four criteria on which applicants are judged:
