The scholarship proudly honours the legacy of Cyril Callister, the brilliant Australian scientist born in Chute, Victoria, who went on to invent Vegemite and contribute to Australia’s food science story in such an iconic way. Through the Cyril Callister Foundation, we are proud to continue Cyril’s belief in education, science and opportunity, especially for regional students with big ideas and bright futures.
The 2026 scholarship will support a Federation University Ballarat student pursuing science, helping them take the next step in their studies and their future career.
