The Tony Williams Memorial Scholarship was established in 1996 through a donation to the University of Adelaide. The donation was organised by Bill Stuart, then Director of the National Centre for Petroleum, Geology and Geophysics (NCPGG), and Brad Farrell of Sun Resources and was collected in memory of Tony Williams.

The scholarship provides financial support to interstate students undertaking a Bachelor of Science majoring in Geology or a Bachelor of Science majoring in Geophysics assisting with relocation costs and living expenses for the duration of their undergraduate degree.
