Summer Scholarships

Summer Research Scholarships

The Charles Sturt University Regional Archives offers at least two Summer Research Scholarships to eligible CSU students to work on designated projects during December and January each year.

One of the scholarships is normally awarded to a student considering a career in archives, libraries or museums. This project would include the arrangement and description of an unprocessed collection held at the CSU Regional Archives and the preparation of a finding aid.

The second scholarship is purely a research project based on a regional collection currently held by the CSU Regional Archives. In the past, this scholarship has been awarded to students from a range of areas including Humanities, Social Sciences, Education, Library and Information Studies, and Visual and Performing Arts.

Each Scholar is expected to compile a written report and to give a presentation to the Archives Advisory Committee. A tax-free allowance of $3500 is paid to each scholar in four instalments subject to a satisfactory record of attendance and progress.

We will NOT be calling for applications for the 2011/2012 Scholarships.
