Peter McGregor HDR Supplementary Scholarship

The Peter McGregor HDR Supplementary Scholarship is awarded annually to reward excellence in research in the Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics instrumentation program or excellence in research that has a substantial instrumentation component. The scholarship aims to encourage outstanding students to pursue PhD degree programs in astronomy and astrophysics at the Australian National University with a special emphasis on instrumentation development. The award provides an annual supplementary stipend of up to $6,000 paid fortnightly for one year. It is available to new or continuing PhD students working on projects in astronomy and astrophysics that incorporate instrumentation development or innovative use of instrumentation. Students are automatically considered for the award with no separate application required, and must have completed all required milestones to the satisfaction of the Delegated Authority.
