Curran Engineering Scholarship
Established in 2019 with a gift from Kevin and Laurence Curran, this scholarship is offered to undergraduate students from regional or remote areas who are experiencing disadvantaged circumstances and who intend to pursue a graduate degree by coursework in the field of Engineering. Kevin and Laurence (Laurie) Curran are twin brothers, born and bred in a wheat farming family near Robinvale, north-western Victoria. Both attended school at St Mary's, Robinvale and St Vincent's College, Bendigo, before graduating from the University of Melbourne with degrees in Chemical Engineering in 1978. Since then, both have established and operated successful businesses in the engineering profession; Laurie in water treatment and Kevin in the non-ferrous metals process equipment industry. This scholarship was established to honour their parents, Norrie and Kevin Curran, whose selfless lives enabled the twins to embark on their educational experiences and subsequent professional adventures.
