Student Prizes

A wide range of student prizes are awarded each year by the ANU College of Law. The objectives of the prizes are to recognise students who have demonstrated a high level of academic excellence whilst studying law at the ANU.

A prize is an award given in recognition of outstanding performance, academic achievement or service.
