Description
The Professor Bligh Scholarship seeks to support a student who shows they can think for themselves and argue for their viewpoint, while recognising objections and devising a way of testing their own ideas. The scholarship looks for an ‘intellectual rebel’ - someone prepared to challenge established beliefs but also able to see and argue both sides of an issue, someone who never stops asking questions but is also open minded and not dogmatic.
