Description

The Robertson Family Scholarship was established in 2013 in memory of A. K. (Bill) Robertson and V. M. (Molly) Robertson through an endowed gift from their children. Bill Robertson and Molly Robertson were both mature-age students at The University of Queensland, graduating with Bachelor of Arts degrees, Bill Robertson in 1950 and Molly Robertson in 1972.

The purpose of the scholarship is to provide financial assistance to a commencing mature-age student in financial need who is enrolled in a relevant program to enable them to undertake study on a full-time basis.
