Peter Kenyon Memorial Postgraduate Scholarship
Scholarship
Peter Kenyon was a well-known and passionate economist, educator, media commentator and social justice advocate. He believed strongly in the value of tertiary education. Prior to Peter’s passing in February 2012 he requested a scholarship be established in his memory, to help disadvantaged postgraduate students complete their higher degree.
The 2015 Peter Kenyon Memorial Postgraduate Scholarship was valued at $30,000 and was awarded for a period of 12 months.
The Economic Society of Australia administered the scholarship on behalf of Peter Kenyon’s widow, Jan Wright.
This scholarship has now concluded and no further applications are sought.
