William Parry Memorial Bursary Awards (Bundaberg)
The late Colonel Daniel Edward Evans made provision in his will for an annual educational bursary for an engineering apprentice in the Bundaberg engineering district including sugar mills. The award is known as the William Parry Memorial Award in memory of William Parry who was the Engineer Foreman of the Bundaberg Foundry Company at the turn of the 20th century.
