Awards made under this fund are to assist as many full time Australian and New Zealand students to attend the annual meeting of the Society as possible. The awards are named in honour of the late John Glover, who undertook pioneering work on the diversity of Central Australian fishes when John was Curator of Ichthyology at the South Australia Museum. John conducted many expeditions and studies of Central Australian fishes (particularly around Dalhousie Springs) from 1967 until his death in 1992.

The travel fund is currently sponsored by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC).
