R6.35 - THE HENRY GYLES TURNER SCHOLARSHIP

Recitals-

1. Henry Gyles Turner late of Melbourne by his will bequeathed to the University the sum of £1,000 to be held upon trust to invest the same at the discretion of Council and to apply the annual income arising therefrom for providing a scholarship or prize or such other form of reward as the said Council may determine to be most suitable for encouraging the scientific study of Agriculture.
   
2. The sum of £1,000 increased to $11,025 at 31 December 1994.

It is provided as follows-

1. The sum of $11,025 and any accumulations and additions to the sum forms the endowment of a scholarship called the 'Henry Gyles Turner Scholarship' ('the fund') and the fund must be paid into an investment pool and remain there until Council directs otherwise.
   
2. The scholarship is tenable for one year and may be awarded to more than one student in any one year.
   
   
3. (1) Applications for the scholarship are invited from postgraduate students studying for a higher degree in Agriculture in the Faculty of Land and Food Resources ('the faculty') who are not in receipt of a Commonwealth Postgraduate Award. Applications should state the income and commitments of the student and any requirements for his or her research programme for which no financial provision has been made.
   
   (2) The value of the award is determined by the dean of the faculty ('the dean') having regard to the financial need of the student but must not, when taken in sum with other scholarship moneys received by the student, exceed the relevant maximum for a Commonwealth Postgraduate Award. The value of all awards so made must not in any one year exceed the sum of the unexpended income of the three preceding years and the net income of the fund for that year.
   
4. On the occasion of each award Council, on the recommendation of the dean determines the terms on which the amount of the scholarship is to be paid and the conditions to apply to its award.
   
5. If in any year, in the opinion of the dean, there is no suitable candidate for the award of the scholarship then Council may, on the recommendation of the dean, award one or more travelling scholarships. These travelling scholarships are open to postgraduate students studying for a higher degree in Agriculture in the faculty who wish to visit research institutions. Council, on the recommendation of the dean, determines the value of each travelling scholarship and the conditions which attach to its award
