CCD Student Scholarship Awards
The Cereal Chemistry Division (CCD) of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute conducts a student scholarship award program aimed at encouraging post graduate students to attend and participate in annual Cereal Chemistry Conferences.
Conference Student Award

The Conference Student Award provides the difference in cost between a Full registration and the cost of a Student registration. This will enable the awardee to attend all technical sessions, trade displays and social functions, and receive a copy of the Conference proceedings and membership of the Division for one year.
To be eligible for receipt of a Conference Student Award, the student nominated must be the lead author of an oral or poster paper proposed for presentation at the Australian Cereal Chemistry Conference.
The awardee will receive a certificate at the Conference as acknowledgement of their receipt of the Award.

Applications, which should not exceed 2 pages in length, should give a brief outline of the applicant’s academic background, career goals and current research program. The application is to be endorsed by the student supervisor. A draft abstract of the paper to be presented at the Conference is to be included.
