Alan and Julia Beck Supplementary Scholarship

The Alan and Julia Beck Supplementary Scholarship is offered by the Research School of Earth Sciences at the Australian National University College of Science to support outstanding PhD students pursuing doctoral studies in Geophysics. The scholarship provides supplementary funding to students who already hold an approved ANU HDR Base stipend scholarship. Funding for this award has been provided by the late Emeritus Professor Alan E. Beck and Julia Beck. Professor Beck began his career in geophysics at ANU in 1952 as Professor John Jaeger's first PhD student and went on to become a founding faculty member at the University of Western Ontario. The scholarship aims to support research excellence in solid earth physics and provide additional financial support to enhance PhD studies in this field.
