Chappell and White PhD Scholarship
The Australian National University (ANU)
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. Professor Bruce Chappells career at ANU spanned more than 30 years, from 1960 to 1997. In 1967 he graduated with an ANU PhD and was awarded an ANU DSC in 1990. His sustained research contributions were recognised with many international awards including election to Fellowship of the Australian Academy of Science. Professor Allan White was a member of the Geology Department at ANU from 1960 to 1971. He was an undergraduate student of the famous Australian geologist and Antarctic explorer, Professor Sir Douglas Mawson. White left ANU to establish the Department of Geology at La Trobe University.
