After a long career of teaching and research, Emeritus Professor John Love believes it is now time to give some more. Professor Love is donating $1 million to the ANU to fund a new scholarship to help students who most need financial support. For Professor Love, from the Research School of Physics and Engineering, the donation is about giving back to the ANU community, which has been his de-facto family for the past 40 years. "During the last 40 years I've come across difficult circumstances for friends, relatives, students," Professor Love said. "It started me thinking about how I could help people, particularly as I don't have any family to support. "So I thought about setting up some scholarships for students who are academically good enough to be at ANU, but for all sorts of odd reasons can't get here for financial, medical or other reasons. I'm lucky to be in a position to do that." ANU Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ian Young AO, thanked Professor Love for his gift.
