Dunbar Physics Honours Scholarship

The Dunbar Physics Honours Scholarship is offered by the ANU College of Science and the Research School of Physics (RSPhys). The scholarship has been established in memory of the late Professor Noel David Dunbar who was Professor of Physics from 1958 to 1968 and Deputy Vice-Chancellor of ANU from 1968 to 1977. RSPhys at the Australian National University undertakes high calibre research in a diverse range of areas and is considered by peers to be amongst the top physics and engineering institutions in the world and the largest physics school in Australia. The culture of interdisciplinary research at RSPhys is strong so students will not be boxed into one field of study. Much more than financial support, the scholarship takes students beyond the lab and gives them the full academic experience. Scholars will be mentored throughout their Honours year to learn about the scientific and academic worlds. They will participate in networking opportunities both locally and overseas, making connections with key players in their field. If scholars decide to stay on for further study, they will have the opportunity to continue towards a PhD. The scholarship provides a stipend of up to $15,000 per annum, paid per semester for one year, and is offered to up to 4 candidates per year.
