Bill Stuart Memorial Research Travel Scholarship in Petroleum Geoscience and Petroleum Engineering

About this scholarship

In 1996, donations were raised by the National Centre for Petroleum Geology & Geophysics (NCPGG) to fund a postgraduate scholarship in memory of Bill Stuart. Dr Stuart was the founding director of the NCPGG and was a driving force in the success of the NCPGG, which was one of the premier training and research centres in Australia. Dr Stuart was posthumously awarded the 1998 Lewis G. Weeks Memorial Gold Medal in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the petroleum exploration and production industry in Australia. This Scholarship supports high quality students in petroleum geosciences who, similar to Dr Suart, might go on to make contributions to petroleum exploration throughout the world. The Scholarship supports successful candidates to attend an industry-linked conference in the field of petroleum geoscience or petroleum engineering. The Scholarship can be used to cover registration costs and, if applicable, relevant travel expenses to and from the approved conference. The successful applicant will receive a lump sum payment of up to $6,000 to support relevant travel expenses.
