Donald Scott Memorial Scholarship

A new scholarship honouring the life and work of Associate Professor of Zoology Donald Scott has been established by the Otago Fish and Game Council, the Clutha Fisheries Trust and the University of Otago, working closely with Associate Professor Scott’s family.

The Donald Scott Memorial Scholarship in Freshwater Ecology was launched on the 27th October 2022 at an event attended by family, friends and colleagues, at the Division of Sciences at the University.

Initiated by his wife, Mrs Patricia Scott, the scholarship honours and celebrates Associate Professor Scott’s impact and legacy in the field of freshwater conservation and research, his passion for teaching, and his role as a champion of sustainable angling.
