Eric Rudd Memorial Research Travel Scholarship in Mineral and Petroleum Exploration

About this scholarship

Eric Rudd was appointed to the Foundation Chair of Economic and Mining Geology at the University of Adelaide in 1949, a position he held for twenty-one years. In 2002, as a memorial to Eric Rudd and in recognition of the great contribution he made to the economic geology program at The University of Adelaide, Eric’s friends and colleagues ran an appeal to raise funds to establish a scholarship in his name. The Scholarship is to cover travel costs to enable students to spend brief periods of time at key institutions and organisation in the world which conduct research in economic geology and to visit important geological field locations. The successful applicant will receive a lump sum payment of up to $8,000 to support their travel costs.
