Roseworthy Campus & Student Fund
In 2001 the Roseworthy Campus Association resolved to establish a public charitable fund for the purpose of maintaining and developing excellence in education, training and research in agricultural and related pursuits based at Roseworthy Campus.
In 2004 the fund, named the Roseworthy Campus and Student Fund, commenced with a $5,000 contribution from the Association.
Over the next twelve years the Fund became the conduit for a number of scholarships, in addition to the Roseworthy Campus and Student Fund Scholarship.
- Trevor Dillon Agronomic Roseworthy Study Scholarship
- Landmark Agronomy Scholarship
- Lower Murray Lot Feeders Honors Scholarship
- Agribusiness Leaders Scholarship in Excellence
- Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Education Foundation of South Australia’s Roseworthy Scholarship
- Viterra Award Scholarship
- FREE Eyre and ROCA Rural Scholarship
Over that time the administration of the Fund was subject to a series of Agreements between the Association and the University of Adelaide.
Currently the Fund is administered by the University.
In 2022 the focus of the Fund changed to providing Prizes to the top final year academic student in each of the current courses delivered at the Roseworthy Campus.
In 2025 the Fund held $146,000, and consequently the Association had $8,500 available to it to allocate annual prizes for the graduating students of the current Roseworthy Campus Animal and Veterinary Science courses.
The current Prizes, each for $1,000, are:
- Roseworthy Campus Association Prize in Animal Science;
- Roseworthy Campus Association Prize in Animal Behaviour;
- Roseworthy Campus Association Prize in Veterinary Technology
- Roseworthy Campus Association ROCA Prize in Veterinary Bioscience; and
- The Hon Dr Bruce Eastick Prize in the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.
The Fund also currently provides $1,000 each for the:
- Roseworthy Campus Association - Roseworthy College Old Students' Cup; and
- Roseworthy Campus Association - Roseworthy Residential College Bursary.
