Allison Milner Memorial PhD Scholarship

To honor Associate Professor Allison Milner's memory, MATES in Construction established the Allison Milner Memorial PhD Scholarship. From 2013 until her sudden death in 2019, Allison was the National Academic Director of MATES. She was a prolific researcher who supported initiatives aimed at reducing the high suicide incidence among blue-collar workers, who are primarily males. This fellowship is a vital source of funding for bright and committed Ph.D. students to carry out the kind of work that Allison and the MATES team find extremely valuable. The award provides funding for doctoral studies that examine suicide prevention programs in Australia's blue-collar, predominately male sectors.
