A Summer Research Scholarship at The Australian National University is an exceptional research opportunity, giving you insight into what Honours or studying for a higher degree is all about, and working with leading scholars in your field.
Academic units in the ANU College of Physical Sciences are each offering exciting research projects this summer:
Who can apply?
The scholarships are available for students currently enrolled in Australian and New Zealand universities completing the third or fourth year of a full-time course leading to an honours degree.
What do Summer Research Scholars do?
Summer scholars work closely with an academic supervisor on a research topic of their choice. Students have a unique opportunity to work with researchers who are international leaders in their fields. The summer research scholarship also allows students to experience a specialist research environment first-hand.
At the conclusion of the research project summer scholars submit a brief report on their findings.
What does the scholarship entail?
The Scholarship provides a contribution towards travel expenses to and from Canberra based on economy railfares at student concession rates (or, for people from more distant parts of Australia, and New Zealand, economy-class airfares), accommodation and all meals at a residential college on campus and a weekly allowance of $135 (tax exempt).
