About this scholarship
This Scholarship is made possible through a gift from Emmanuel College to honour the generosity of Nev Ducat, Emmanuel College and UQ alumnus. Nev himself was the recipient of a cadetship which directly enabled him to reside at Emmanuel College and to study Electrical Engineering at UQ. Nev has the desire that his gift be used to similarly create opportunities for students in that field; a field which he acknowledges has provided him with a rewarding and satisfying professional career. The Scholarship is maintained by income generated from the underlying endowment fund.
