Undergraduate Research Scholarship Program - 2024

Commencing in May 2024, UniSQ will offer a number of Undergraduate Research Scholarships giving UniSQ undergraduate students the opportunity to work with world-class researchers gaining invaluable research, professional and academic skills. Students will have the opportunity to establish academic and industry connections and discover research before engaging in research projects and higher degree studies.

Projects are available for up to 10 weeks between May 2024 and November/December 2024 with projects being situated in the Academic Division, a research institute/centre or co-located across both the Academic Division and a research institute/centre.

Each scholarship will have a maximum value of $2000.

Applicants must:

be enrolled in an undergraduate program (TPP students are not eligible for these scholarships);
have completed at least eight units of study at UniSQ but have not completed all units of study in their program (i.e., students who are eligible to graduate are not able to apply for this scholarship);
be studying in a program relevant to the selected research project/s;
have a high level of academic achievement as indicated by a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 5.5 or above at the time of application; and
have a genuine interest in undertaking a Higher Degree by Research study (i.e., PhD or Master of Research).

Applications will be assessed by a panel that includes the Associate Dean (Research) and at least one other key research stakeholder.

Scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis with consideration of the following:

undertaking an undergraduate program that is related to the selected project;
reasons for wanting to participate in the scholarship program;
project availability;
prior and active engagement with the Project Supervisor; and
the academic standing of the applicant.

Choose a project from the list of available projects as outlined in the Project Booklet.
