The CRC for Greenhouse Accounting offers a limited number of Honours scholarships each year, to outstanding applicants. The intention of the CRC GA in offering Honours scholarships is to encourage students to develop greenhouse-related research skills, and to fund short-duration research projects of interest to the CRC. The proposed research topic must fall within the central research goals of the CRC , as these are embodied in the research programs of the CRC . Applicants should contact the Program Leader of the relevant CRC research program prior to applying in order to discuss the applicability of their proposed research topic to the CRC’s goals.

Applicants must be accepted for fourth-year Honours at an Australian university, be studying full-time towards their Honours degree, and should be commencing Honours study in first semester 2003. All successful applicants will have a CRC mentor associated with their project, but are expected to receive academic supervision from the university in which they are enrolled.

CRC GA Honours scholarships are valued at $2,500, plus the costs of attending the Annual Science Meeting of the CRC during the Honours year. Being at the ASM allows students to interact with all of the scientists and postgraduates within in the CRC, and to see their own research in the broad perspective of the CRC’s research activity. The ASM is held in June of each year.

Honours scholarships from the CRC GA are governed by the rules and conditions set out in the document Conditions relating to the award of a Cooperative Research Centre for Greenhouse Accounting Honours Scholarship.

A document describing application requirements and the assessment process , and an application form , are also available. Closing dates for applications will be strictly observed.
