This scholarship is a tribute to the parents of Dr Eliadis, whose father was born on the island of Karpathos and who emigrated to Australia just prior to World War Two in search of a better future and his mother who was born in Sydney of Greek parents originating from the island of Samos. This scholarship honours their lives and acknowledges the two nations now interconnected by their aspirations and family.
