CSIRO Indigenous STEM Scholarship

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) would like support further engagement with the sciences for Indigenous Australians, by supporting JCU Indigenous STEM students to complete their studies. This scholarship supports Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people enrolled in undergraduate or postgraduate course study in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) degree at James Cook University. Successful recipients will receive $10,000 paid in two equal instalments of $5,000 after census dates of study period two and study period one of the following year each year of award. This scholarship is also an opportunity to engage with the CSIRO and build a relationship and pathway into a career in the Sciences. The successful recipients may also be considered for a graduate position with the CSIRO and work opportunities at a CSIRO facility, which would be arranged directly with the donor and outside the scholarship.
