UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIPS

Applications for Vacation Scholarships for Summer 2008/2009 Available Now!

Applications are open to both UNSW science degree (including combined degree) students and also science students from other universities, who are studying a physics major and currently enrolled in their 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate programs. The Vacation Research Scholarship provides an excellent research opportunity for science undergraduate students to experience working in a research environment.

The Scholarships will run for six weeks and students will be paid a tax-free stipend of $450 per week. Successful applicants will negotiate the exact dates of their project with their supervisor, but they are usually taken in January/February.

Students should submit an application form (download from here) to Sue Hagon by Friday 26 September 2008. In the application, students should list areas of research where they are interested in doing a project. We will attempt to match successful applicants with their areas of interest. (the links below will lead you to information about the research in the School of Physics)

International students wanting to complete a period of research in the School of Physics should not apply for a vacation scholarship, but should apply for the professional practicum program. Scholarships and financial aid are not available for the practicum program.
