Scholarships for Summer 06/07 are now closed.

CSIRO, the largest R&D organisation in Australia, offers Vacation Scholarships to 3rd year students in a range of disciplines and at various locations. Our research is leading edge and is used by many organisations to solve problems across a wide range of industries.

The scholarships are intended to provide students with the opportunity to work on a real-world problem and to develop future links with a number of divisions of CSIRO. Undertaking a project has influenced previous scholarship holders in their choice of further study and future career. Many have gone on to undertake PhDs in CSIRO  and to be employed in senior positions in CSIRO, universities and industry.

The scholarships are open to students who have completed at least 3 years of Undergraduate study and who have maintained a credit average or better. The scholarship rate is approximately $550 per week. Placements are from November to February for a period of 8 to 12 weeks.
