Undergraduate Research Scholarship Program

In Semester 3, 2022, 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 between 6-10 weeks over Semester 3 2022 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.

Scholarships will have different values dependent on funding sources as below:

Undergraduate Research Scholarships will have a maximum value of $2000.
NO WASTE and SIMPLE summer research program scholarships will have a maximum value of $5000.

The Undergraduate Research Scholarship Program applicants must:

be enrolled in an UniSQ undergraduate program (NOTE: TPP students are not eligible);
have completed at least 8 units of study 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);

have a high level of academic achievement as indicated by a GPA of 5.5 or above; and
have an interest in undertaking postgraduate HDR studies (PhD or masters).

No Waste and Simple project applications will be assessed by the supervisors of these projects.

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