The Cochlear UK Graeme Clark Scholarship Award provides college age students a grant for tuition, for students either currently completing their final year of school and who have been accepted onto a university or other tertiary education course; mature-aged students who have been accepted onto a university or other tertiary education course; or students currently undertaking a university degree of other tertiary education.
The award was established in 2002 in honour of Professor Graeme Clark to thank him for his lifelong pursuit of finding a solution for the hearing impaired and his pioneering work in the field of cochlear implant technology. Professor Clark, Professor of the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Melbourne, invented the world’s first multi-channel cochlear implant over 25 years ago.
A cochlear implant is a small electronic device which consists of an external processor that sits behind the ear and a second element that is surgically placed under the skin. A cochlear implant does not restore normal hearing but can give someone with a severe to profound hearing loss access to a world of sound.
