Overview
This scholarship is not opening for applications this year.
University of Tasmania Access Scholarships are made possible through the generous support of donors to the University of Tasmania. The 'Trent Williams Memorial Sea Shepherd Scholarship' has been created to honour Trent's life and share in his passion for the ocean with a future ocean advocate. Trent was a passionate and dedicated Sea Shepherd volunteer for over 9 years who passed away suddenly in 2022 due to a tragic diving incident. Trent was a leader, an educator and an ambassador for the ocean. In early 2022, Trent had enrolled in his first university course and was excited to learn more about marine conservation.
