Outline

The purpose of the UNSW Science Summer Vacation Research Scholarship is to expose highly talented undergraduate students, enrolled in Science or a related discipline, to scientific research and other science-based experience, and to further their education and inspire them to consider research or related activities. The scholarship program will run for a six-week period over the Summer Semester (November to February).


Application Process

Students must complete the following by Friday 15 September 2023 at 11:59 PM to be considered:

  • Part 1: Submit a UNSW Science Vacation Research Scholarship application (attaching their CV and academic transcripts as one PDF file); AND

Incomplete applications or applications without supporting documents will not be assessed. Late applications/supporting documentation will not be accepted.
