The Bill Hickson & Engineers Australia Scholarship for the Master of Applied Cybernetics

Each year the School of Cybernetics within the ANU College of Systems and Society may offer an award known as The Bill Hickson & Engineers Australia Scholarship for the Master of Applied Cybernetics. The objective of the Award is to support and provide funding for a domestic or international candidate who is eligible for membership of the Institution of Engineers Australia to enable them to study either the Master of Applied Cybernetics or the Master of Applied Cybernetics (Advanced), both offered by the School of Cybernetics. Funding for this Award has been provided by Engineers Australia on behalf of the estate of the late Bill Hickson. The scholarship provides a stipend of $34,000 per annum, paid fortnightly for the duration of the program. Recipients are responsible for making payment of all tuition fees by the prescribed date as set out by the University each session. Recipients of the Award are also responsible for the costs of books, study materials, accommodation and all other costs of study. The scholarship is designed to support students pursuing advanced studies in cybernetics at the Australian National University.
