Karen (Miles) Field donated funds to establish the Centenary Trust for Women Miles Family Scholarship, in the fields of Engineering or Science, in the name of her family which has a long record of residence in regional and remote Australia. The scholarship reflects both her concern for regional and remote-based families who incur considerable additional costs to educate their children, and her continuing interest in encouraging young women into engineering or science-based careers. Karen Field is an Economics graduate of the University, has had a long executive career in mining in Australia and overseas followed by two decades as a Non-Executive Director on a variety of ASX listed companies as well as Public Company and Not-for-Profit boards. Karen has supported the objectives of the Centenary Trust for Women since inception and served on its board from 2008.
