The first 20 Hansen Scholars start next year

They will live in purpose-built university accommodation from next year, with financial support for a three-year bachelor degree. Funding is from a $30m gift to the university from the Hansen Little Foundation (CMM May 16 2018).

The announcement follows ANU yesterday, which named next year’s 25 Tuckwell Scholars, (a $25 000 pa package for five years).

Anticipating the annual question, ANU stated the majority of new scholars are from state schools. There appear to be more students from non-govs on the Hansen list.
