Since 2001 Ms Jean Kahan has donated funds to provide a scholarship in chemistry in the name of her father, Raoul Robellaz Kahan, who was the first student to obtain an Honours degree in Science at UWA. The purpose of the scholarship is to encourage students to undertake honours in Chemistry at UWA.

The Raoul Robellaz Kahan Scholarship is awarded on the basis of academic achievement, together with the applicant’s interest in undertaking further study or employment in the field of chemistry.
