Vacation scholarships aim to:
-
provide students with experience in an area of research
-
provide students with an insight into future opportunities in the area of research
-
encourage and attract high quality students interested in pursuing a career in research and/or academia.
Recipients partake in research-related activities in the department offering the scholarship, and will be matched to a specific project, which will run over either the winter or summer break. Applications are invited from undergraduates interested in furthering their studies via an honours program, or who are considering a career in research for the primary purpose of furthering their education.
