Bok Honours Year Scholarship in Astrophysics

The Bok Honours Year Scholarship in Astrophysics is offered annually by the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics (RSAA) in the ANU College of Science. The objective of the award is to support students with an outstanding academic record to undertake their Honours year in Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Australian National University. The scholarship is offered in honour of the late Professor Bart J. Bok, a former Director of the Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories from 1957 to 1966 and Professor of Astronomy at the Australian National University. The award provides financial support to both domestic and international students enrolled in the Astronomy and Astrophysics Honours Year program. Applicants who transfer their enrolment to ANU for their Honours year and whose permanent place of residence is outside Canberra may be eligible for an additional amount of up to $4,000.
