Up to four scholarships valued at $6,000 each are available to university students to conduct short research, extension or industry projects under the direct supervision of a researcher or extension officer from either the public or private sector.
The student will benefit from the experience of working in the irrigation industry in an R&D context, while the applicant should benefit from the proposal and its R&D outcome.
Students can do their project at any location but must be under the direct supervision of the applicant.
The scholarship is open to all university students of a high standard who are completing their senior years of an undergraduate degree relevant to irrigation management.
The scholarship can also be used to support an Honours project in their final year, if the field work is done during university vacation.
Proposals will be assessed on the basis of their compliance with NPSI strategic plan (www.npsi.gov.au), the capacity for the project to be achieved within the specified time frame, evidence of good supervision and collaboration.
