Emeritus Professor Robin Powell Coursework Scholarship

This scholarship was established in 2023 through a gift from Dr Peter Clark Ryan and fellow donors, together with Alumni Friends of The University of Queensland under the Queensland Commitment Scholarship Match Initiative. The Scholarship honours the late Emeritus Professor Robin Powell who made a significant and lasting contribution to the development of periodontology and is arguably one of the most influential academics in the history of the UQ School of Dentistry. The scholarship is awarded annually to one student who can demonstrate financial need and is enrolled in either 4th or 5th year of the Bachelor of Dental Science (Honours) or 3rd or 4th year of Doctor of Dental Medicine. The scholarship value is at least $4,500, limited to the annual income from the endowment fund, and is awarded for a duration of one year. Selection is based on demonstrated financial need and the strength of the applicant's personal statement explaining the benefit they would gain from the scholarship and their affinity to periodontics.
