Rowe Scientific Foundation
About
The Rowe Scientific Foundation advances Australian scientific education and research through scholarships and prizes distributed to universities across Australia. Established by Rowe Scientific Pty Ltd, a scientific supply company, the foundation cycles company profits back into science education, with distribution proportional to revenue generated in each state. The foundation supports students in subject areas relevant to industries that sustain the company's revenue base, including mining, environmental sciences, health, and food sciences.
Giving Philosophy
The foundation believes in perpetuating value to the Australian scientific community by 'giving back' to the industries and regions that support Rowe Scientific's business. It distributes scholarships and prizes proportionally across state universities based on revenue generation in each state, and prioritizes funding in disciplines aligned with the company's client industries. The foundation also supports international students from PNG, Pacific nations, Asia, and Africa/Arabia through Australian universities, extending its commitment to global scientific development.
Tips for Applicants
Target university-based scholarships and prizes in scientific disciplines relevant to mining, environmental sciences, health, food sciences, and industrial sectors.
