Are you an Indigenous UOW student studying a Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics related undergraduate or postgraduate (coursework) degree?
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) would like to support further engagement with the sciences for Indigenous Australians, by supporting UOW Indigenous STEM students to complete their studies. The funds are intended to be used for work placement support, extra-curricular academic tutoring, and other learning tools such as textbooks.
This scholarship is also an opportunity to engage with the CSIRO and build a relationship and pathway into a career in the Sciences. The successful recipients may also be considered for a graduate position with the CSIRO and work opportunities at a CSIRO facility, which would be arranged directly with the donor and outside of the scholarhsip.
Applicants are asked to include a short personal statement discussing your future career aspirations in relation to Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics, and if postgraduate, a short statement outlining your study plans.
