The Australian National University (ANU)  intends to offer Summer scholarships  for the period 2022-2023 to students enrolled in undergraduate or masters coursework degrees in Australia or New Zealand.

What is the Summer Scholars Program?

A Summer Research Scholarship (SRS) (for non-ANU students) or Summer Research Internship (SRI) (for ANU students) is an exceptional research opportunity for undergraduate and masters coursework students, providing insight into what studying for a graduate research degree is all about. The scholarship or internship package gives you the opportunity to stretch your boundaries by undertaking research projects and activities during the summer.

The SRS scholarship provides board and accommodation at Burgmann for 9 weeks (including the Christmas shutdown period), and a stipend of $150/week, along with up to $1000 for travel costs.

The SRI scholarship provides a stipend of $400/week.

Applications for this year's program will open from August 1st and close on the 15th september 2022

The nine-week program will run between 21st November 2022 to 20th January 2023.

The scholarships will be awarded on merit and fit with project. Equity-based adjustments may be made for Indigenous students or for other reasons aligned to the Education Access Scheme (Equity) Adjustment Schedule.
