Bassett Downs Honours Scholarship in Zoology

The Bassett Downs Endowment provides funds for the Bassett Downs Scholarship for Zoology to support a research project based on field or lab-based work on native species in the fields of systematics, conservation biology, behavioural and community ecology. This scholarship is designed for students who demonstrate an exceptionally high level of competence in these areas and are eligible to enrol in the honours year of an undergraduate program offered by the Research School of Biology at The Australian National University. The scholarship provides financial support for one year and is awarded every second year to one outstanding student. No formal application is required as eligible candidates are automatically considered based on their academic record and demonstrated competence in wildlife, conservation ecology and/or animal behaviour.
