Quest for Excellence is our most prestigious scholarship. It’s an award that recognises and rewards exceptional people. We make this award each year to a deaf or hearing impaired person wanting to do post-graduate study. Being deaf and hearing impaired affects communication. So winners of this scholarship have already overcome many challenges to earn their undergraduate degree. As the name suggests, this scholarship is all about pursuing excellence. We are currently reviewing the conditions of the scholarship, and accordingly will not be accepting applications until further notice.
