The Oodgeroo Scholarships were established by Trinity College with the support of Cybec Foundation in honour of Oodgeroo of the tribe Noonucal (1920–92).

Cybec Foundation has provided ongoing support and encouragement to Indigenous Eye Health Australia in its work to ‘close the gap’ for indigenous eye health.

This scholarship was established by Cybec Foundation in 2001 and is used for the purpose of assisting any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, who are studying in the Faculty of Health and Medicine at the University of Newcastle.
