Students are required to submit a scholarship application (attaching their CV and academic transcripts as one PDF file) along with the UNSW School of Chemistry Vacation Research Award.

Applicants who are not UNSW students will need to create a nine digit login ID of their own choice as you will not have a UNSW zID to apply with. You do this in the registration page once you have selected Future UNSW Student and enter your number under the UAC/Student Number section.

Applications will close Monday, 23 November at 11:59pm.
