CSIRO Indigenous Scholarship

The Tjabal Indigenous Higher Education Centre in conjunction with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) offers up to two awards known as the CSIRO Indigenous Scholarship. The scholarship aims to support further engagement with the sciences amongst Indigenous Australians and to provide financial support to overcome obstacles to education. It provides an opportunity to engage with the CSIRO and build a relationship and pathway into a career in the sciences. The scholarship is available to prospective or current ANU students who are Australian citizens of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent, enrolled in or offered admission to any Science, Technology, Engineering or Maths (STEM) related undergraduate degree program. Clinical, Health and Human Sciences will be considered, but STEM courses remain a priority. Selection is based on applicants' passion for STEM, their ability and initiative in their approach to study, and their interest in the work and research undertaken by CSIRO.
