About the scholarship
The Michael Roche Scholarship was established to provide a life changing opportunity to the scholarship awardee to further their knowledge and increase their contribution to innovation in the areas of the environment, sustainability or climate change.
By establishing this scholarship, McCullough Robertson Lawyers seeks to acknowledge the significant contribution of the late Michael Roche to resources and renewables in Queensland and in particular the need for thought leadership in those fields to ensure a just and equitable energy transition.
The gift will support an annual travel scholarship for a QUT student or QUT research fellow from any discipline (science, engineering, business, health, law, education or creative industries) who can demonstrate a passion for the environment, sustainability or climate change and a commitment to innovation in resources and renewables.
