St Paul’s has an impressive community of medical graduates, many of them true leaders in the field of medicine who have made and continue to make significant contributions to the lives and wellbeing of people all over the world.

Our medical Alumni understand from their own lived experience, the formative and positive effect living at St Paul’s can have. Created in 2010 by Dr Rob Maserra (in College 2000-07) the Medical Alumni Scholarship was imagined as an avenue for the broader medical profession to engage with the College and support the next generation of students studying medical and health-science degrees.

Recently the College received a bequest from the estate of Selwyn Owen in support of this important scholarship. As a result, we now have the opportunity to build the capital base and ensure the future of this important scholarship programme for St Paul’s.

Since Graduate House opened in 2018, the number of medical and health sciences students has quietly increased with a 2024 cohort of 29 studying at all levels of the University’s Doctor of Medicine. Our medical students positively influence the College culture, bringing a studious, interesting and humanitarian outlook to our academically focused community of Graduate House.

 Selwyn’s bequest has significantly boosted the Medical Alumni Scholarship fund, and we are very grateful to be able to continue to provide a great place to live for medical students from all backgrounds.

Paulines are known for their generous support of scholarships and bursaries through the Scholarship Fund and the St Paul’s College Foundation endowment.
