About this scholarship
Established in 1963 by a gift of £10,000 from Mr B.J. Thiess as a memorial to his son Kenneth A. Thiess, a young Civil Engineering graduate of this University, who was accidentally killed while carrying out the duties of an engineer with the Snowy Mountains HydroElectric Authority.
