From Playford to Fulbright
2020 Playford Trust PhD scholar Alison Gill has been awarded a prestigious Fulbright Scholarship to study at the University of California Berkeley next year.
She’ll be a visiting research student from March to December, continuing her work on water use and drought tolerance of industrial hemp.
Space scholarships launched
South Australia has taken another important step in its mission to launch more space careers.
The Playford Trust and the Andy Thomas Space Foundation will partner to provide four $5000 scholarships for high-achieving school leavers hoping to study aerospace engineering at the University of Adelaide next year.
“Our role is to help advance a range of new areas of growth for South Australia – and space is right near the top of the list,” said Playford Trust Chair, former Premier Dean Brown.
