Overview
Each year the Australian Bicentennial Scholarships and Fellowships Trust invites applications from Australian postgraduate students or academic staff members for Australian Bicentennial Scholarships and Fellowships tenable in the United Kingdom.
The objects of the scheme, as defined in the deed of Trust, are to ‘promote scholarship, intellectual links, and mutual awareness and understanding between the United Kingdom and Australia, in particular: a) to enable United Kingdom graduates to study in approved courses or undertake approved research in Australia; b) to enable Australian graduates to study in approved courses or undertake approved research in the United Kingdom; and c) to make allowance within the Scheme for disadvantaged persons.’
Eligibility Requirements
An applicant for a Scholarship must be registered as a post-graduate student at an Australian tertiary institution, or be eligible for such registration at a UK tertiary institution, and be usually resident in Australia. He/she should normally have at least an upper second class honours degree.
An applicant for a Fellowship should have a good post-graduate degree or equivalent experience, and should be seeking to further his/her education or professional experience but not through taking a further degree.
Candidates may be in any discipline, but they must demonstrate that there are special scholarly or practical advantages to be gained from a period of study in the UK, and that an appropriate host institution is available. Younger scholars are preferred, but while there is no formal age limit a scholar or fellow must be likely to be able to make a formal contribution in his/her field for at least ten years.
Each scholarship or fellowship will offer a grant of up to £4,000, and may be used to supplement other awards. Please note that preference is often given to applicants who can demonstrate that a Bicentennial grant will complete a guaranteed funding package for the whole degree or project. A successful applicant must spend at least three months studying in the UK. A detailed report (guidelines below) on the scholarship/fellowship is required within three months of the scholar’s/fellow’s return to Australia.
The application should include:
•a curriculum vitae
•the names of two referees
•a statement of the research project (approximately 2 sides of A4) and where it is to be carried out
•a signed hard copy of the application form
•evidence of having been accepted by the proposed host institution (this may be forwarded to us separately)
•and details of any other awards applied for or received.
Please note that no other application form will be accepted. Incomplete applications will be considered ineligible. Applicants must arrange for their referees to send their reports direct to the Menzies Centre. References may be emailed to menzies.centre@kcl.ac.uk. The Centre does not pursue late references.
Monies will be released between 12 August 2010 and 31 July 2011. A scholar/fellow must take up the award by 31 July 2011 or forfeit it.
Applications and references for 2010 will be accepted between 1 February and 29 March 2010.
Awards are normally announced 2 months later.
Enquiries, please contact: menzies.centre@kcl.ac.uk
