The Centenary Trust for Women has provided funds to the University of Western Australia (`the University?) to establish a scholarship in honour of Dr Erica Smyth AC, to assist and encourage an eligible female student who demonstrates an interest in Science, to undertake a Master of Marine Biology and pursue a career in this field. Erica Smyth grew up and undertook her school education in Geraldton, Western Australia before embarking on her university studies graduating in 1971 with a Bachelor of Science (Hons). Her active and leading participation in the fields of geology, mining, the Arts and various charitable organisations including the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and various roles at the University saw the University award her an Honorary Doctor of Letters in 2008. Doctor Smyth also served as Chair of the Centenary Trust for Women from 2007 to 2013.
