About this scholarship

Graham, Hugh, Jenny and Karen Possingham, graduates of the University of Adelaide, established the Possingham Fund to establish and maintain support a postgraduate research scholarship in environmental sustainability in honour of their parents and parents-in-law, Max and Barbara, who were both graduates of the University of Adelaide. Barbara was one of the first women at the University of Adelaide to achieve a Doctorate in Physics (1956). The purpose of the Possingham Supplementary Scholarship is to support Graduate Research students studying in the area of environmental sustainability*. Environmental sustainability is defined in the broadest possible sense, and is open to applicants from any discipline (including but not exclusive to: engineering, law, mathematics, all the sciences, the social sciences and the arts) as long as the work has the potential to deliver a positive environmental outcome. The value of the supplementary scholarship is $12,000 per year for up to a maximum of three years and $36,000 in total. No extensions will be considered and no other allowances are payable.
