School of Physics Vacation Research Scholarships

The School of Physics is offering Vacation Research Scholarships to UNSW students who are enrolled into a physics major as part of any science or combined degree program. The Scholarships are for six weeks during the December 2012-February 2013 Summer Vacation, and are worth $500 per week (tax-free). Applicants should have completed the second or third year of their physics major, or equivalent.

Closing date: 5pm, 30 September 2012.

Application forms are available here. (All applicants are strongly advised to also apply for the Faculty Scholarship scheme if they are eligible. Students can, however, only hold a Faculty of Science or a School of Physics scholarship.)
