The Myhill Scholarship in Psychology was established in 2025 at the University of Adelaide after a generous donation from graduate Jim Myhill (B. Ee. 1981) in memory of his parents, Dr John Myhill OAM (B.D.S. 1948) and Elva Myhill, whose encouragement was instrumental in shaping his education and career. Grateful for the opportunities and strong foundation provided by the University of Adelaide, Jim has established this scholarship to support future students in Psychology, supporting their studies and empowering them to create positive change.
Value: $5,000 per year payable in two equal instalments
