About this scholarship
This scholarship was established in 2023 through a gift from Dr Peter Clark Ryan and fellow donors, together with Alumni Friends of The University of Queensland under the Queensland Commitment Scholarship Match Initiative. The Scholarship honours the late Emeritus Professor Robin Powell who made a significant and lasting contribution to the development of periodontology and is arguably one of the most influential academics in the history of the UQ School of Dentistry. The Scholarship will be maintained by income generated from an endowment fund.
