The Natural Resource Management Research and Innovation Honours Scholarships

These scholarships have been established by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in conjunction with the University of Adelaide to benefit Honours students undertaking a project with applied outcomes to natural resource management in South Australia.

Three scholarships are available to International or local students who are undertaking an Honours program of study at the University of Adelaide.

Students should be in their Honours year and undertaking study on a full time basis. Students must be undertaking a research project with applied outcomes to natural resource management in South Australia in the areas of water, biodiversity or landscapes.

Selection for the scholarships will be made according to academic merit and the relevance of the applicant's research project to natural resource management in South Australia.

Provided there are sufficient applicants, the three scholarships will be awarded equally across the three areas of study (water, biodiversity and landscapes) each year.

Each scholarship is valued at $3,000 for one year of full time honours study, payable in two instalments of $1,500 after the census dates (31 March and 31 August), subject to the student maintaining satisfactory academic progress and full time enrolment.

Successful recipients will be required to submit a brief 8-10 page paper outlining their research and findings to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources upon completion of their Honours year.

The scholarship must be taken up in the year in which it is offered; acceptance of the scholarship offer cannot be deferred. If a student declines the scholarship offer, the scholarship will be offered to the next eligible student.
