Nugget Coombs Indigenous Australian Scholarships

These scholarships are intended to assist undergraduate and graduate students to undertake fieldwork and research, preferably in Northern Australia. The fieldwork projects will be of short duration between two and four weeks or as negotiated with the selection committee. Applicants must be either an undergraduate or a graduate Australian Indigenous student and have completed at least the first year of their studies. Selection is based on the academic value of the applicant's project, the academic record of the applicant, the reports from two academic referees, the money available in the fund in any year, and the availability of appropriate supervision. The scholarship value may vary and is awarded for one year with closing dates in the first week of Semester 1 and first week of Semester 2.
