Scholarships and Funding
Cochlear Graeme Clark Scholarship
Important Information for all Applicants
Professor Graeme Clark is the Professor of the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Melbourne. It is the pioneering work of his university department that led to the first multi-channel research implant “bionic ear” being “switched on” in 1978 and the first Nucleus implant in 1982. His lifelong commitment to finding a solution for the hearing impaired has resulted in a revolution not only for those with a profound hearing loss but also their family and friends. The Graeme Clark Scholarship is a unique award open to Nucleus cochlear implant recipients around the world. Five awards are available in total, one for each region shown below.
The awards aim to support implant recipients financially when they continue further education at an accredited institution.
