Supporting UNSW Science Indigenous PhD candidates
The Faculty of Science is committed to improving Indigenous education opportunities and recognises that there may be impediments – financial or otherwise – that restrict Indigenous students from pursuing research pathways in science. As part of the university’s overall strategy, the faculty is dedicated to increasing the number of Indigenous students participating in higher education. We believe an increase in the engagement of non-Indigenous staff and students with Indigenous knowledge and culture will be of substantial benefit to the faculty at social, environmental, and educational levels.
The Faculty of Science offers an Indigenous PhD top-up scholarship of $8000 for Indigenous Australian students currently enrolled in a PhD program.
