Val Asche Memorial Prize

The Val Asche Memorial Prize for Academic Excellence:

Menzies Education and Training acknowledges the importance of recognising outstanding achievement by a student undertaking a coursework award.

The Val Asche Memorial Prize for Academic Excellence is awarded on an annual basis at the end of each academic year.

Dr Valerie Asche (Deceased) was the head of the microbiology research unit at Menzies School of Health Research from 1986 to 1994 under its founding director Professor John Mathews. Dr Asche supported this award for 19 years before sadly passing away in 2019. Dr Asche's family maintains an interest in education and continues to support academic excellence among Menzies students.

Established in 2001, the award is presented each year to students whose academic performance in a completed course has been outstanding.
