In 2004 with the generous contribution of the Hokari Family, the Scholarship was established to provide financial assistance to residents who exemplify the values of International House of friendship, tolerance and cross-cultural understanding and to encourage then and others to make a contribution to society. The annual scholarship was dedicated to the memory of Minoru, a former resident of the House who passed away at the age of 33 for his work and service above self to the Gurindji people of Australia.

How is the scholarship awarded?
A scholarship of $1,000 towards the cost of the student accommodation at International House is awarded each year. Current residents who will be living in the house for the full academic year are encouraged to apply. A Selection Committee of the International House Alumni & Friends will evaluate written applications, conducts interviews and makes a recommendation to the Board of Directors of International House Limited who will make the final decision.

Applicants are assessed on the basis of their community involvement, demonstrated commitment to international friendship, tolerance and cross-cultural understanding. Consideration will also be given to academic merit and financial need.
