About this scholarship
Once every three years the Research School of Earth Sciences may offer a PhD scholarship known as the Chappell and White PhD Scholarship ("the Award").
The objective of the Award is to support high achieving domestic and international PhD students who are conducting research in the areas of petrology and ore petrology.
Funding for this Award has been provided by Professor Bruce Chappell and Professor Allan White.
