Susan Eileen Mahon Scholarship

Award value: $7500 annually

Level of study: Undergraduate / VET

Nationality: Australian

The funds for the scholarship have been bequeathed by Mrs Susan Eileen Mahon, who died in 2001. Mrs Mahon, who was an Associate of the London College of Music at the age of 12, believed that the Conservatorium and subsequently the School of Music represented her ideal of the pinnacle of music. Since both her mother and grandmother had gone blind and believing that she herself might go blind, she decided to establish a scholarship for a blind student.
