UNE GRASS Scholarships

The UNE GRASS Industry Placement Scholarship aims to encourage Year 10 students to continue on to Year 11 & 12 science studies, and then to a science degree course at university.

Activities experienced during the scholarship period will focus particularly on the sciences underpinning environmental and rural science, with the goal of illustrating a range of rewarding career paths available.  In the long-term, this project will set the foundation for servicing a skill shortage, which is now emerging from a number of agricultural businesses and their service providers nationwide. There is evidence from many of these businesses, that future growth and sustainability will demand increased quantity and quality of human resources. Much of this demand will be for increased knowledge and skills in science and technology.

This program will encourage students to establish career paths in these areas by exposing them to the importance of the science underpinning all aspects of agricultural industry.

Further details and an online application form for this exciting opportunity can be found on the UNE GRASS webpage. 

Applications close 31 August 2020.
