About this scholarship
Established in 2023 by the generous gift of Associate Professor Peter Sutton in memory of his father, the late Dr Richard (Dick) Sutton, who spent 27 years of his career teaching veterinary pathology at UQ from 1979 until his retirement in 2005. He was Deputy Dean of UQ’s School of Veterinary Sciences from 1985 until 1990. The scholarship is established under the Create Change Scholarship Match Initiative and maintained by income generated from the endowment fund.
