Summer Scholarships

Summer Research Scholarships

To promote research use of the CSU Regional Archives collection, the Archives is again offering two Summer Research Scholarships for work on designated projects at the Archives during the coming summer session.

One scholarship has been designated for a student enrolled in a course from the Faculty of Arts, whilst the other is aimed at an enrolled student from the School of Information Studies, studying to become an information professional. The Scholarships are open to suitably qualified CSU students on a competitive basis.

Each scholarship comprises a $3,500 tax free allowance paid in four instalments upon satisfactory attendance and progress.

Scholarships commence on 10th December 2012 and conclude on 8th February 2013 (with a Christmas/New Year break between 21st December & 2nd January).

Applications are now closed for the 2012/2013 Summer Scholarship.
