TitleRSWA John Glover Research Grant
Description

The Royal Society of Western Australia (RSWA) received a generous bequest from the estate of the late Dr John Glover (former distinguished staff member of the Geology Department, University of Western Australia). To reflect Dr Glover’s lifelong objective to advance the natural sciences in Western Australia, the gift has been largely used to establish annual research support grants for students within the spectrum of natural sciences in Western Australia.

The grants are named “The Royal Society of Western Australia John Glover Research Support Grants” and are established in partnership with The University of Western Australia, which administers the grants.  However, the grants are open to eligible students at any Western Australian university.

The grants are for one calendar year and have a value of $15,000. This is to be divided as follows.  $5,000 will be provided as a top up to the student stipend for one calendar year and $10,000 will be for project maintenance.

Recipients will be expected to present their research at a RSWA symposium or seminar event held the year after they receive their grants.
