Lowth Geology Scholarship

The Lowth Geology Scholarship supports undergraduate students enrolled in Earth Sciences (geological sciences) at the University of Queensland who demonstrate financial need. The scholarship provides at least $5,000 per year for the duration of the undergraduate program. This scholarship was established in 2019 under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative in honour of Jacqueline and Thomas Lowth. Jacqueline was a beloved school principal who believed in education and opportunity for all, and she bequeathed her estate to the University in honour of her brother Thomas, a geologist and former staff member at UQ. The scholarship aims to ensure students experiencing financial hardship can pursue their studies in geological sciences without financial barriers.
