Ben Cowen Scholarship Donors

The Ben Cowen Scholarship stems from a generous gift from Matthew and Elizabeth Goldberg, in partnership with the Lumina Foundation, and a group of donors including Cowen family members, in memory of their cherished friend, brother and son, Ben Cowen. Ben was a graduate of the University of Melbourne, the co-founder of Anaconda, and the youngest child of Sir Zelman Cowen, also a graduate of the University.
