About This Opportunity
The Humanities Rob Riley Memorial Scholarship honours the memory of Rob Riley by supporting and encouraging Indigenous students in postgraduate course studies within the Faculty of Humanities. Rob Riley was a prominent Aboriginal activist and community leader who tirelessly advocated for social justice for Aboriginal people in Australia. Over his life, Rob held many influential roles such as CEO of the WA Aboriginal Legal Service, Chairperson of the National Aboriginal Council and was a senior advisor to the Federal Minister for Aboriginal Affairs. Rob Riley established Curtin's Centre for Aboriginal Studies and was awarded the Human Rights Medal in 1996.
