Conference Bursaries

The Australian Society of Agronomy offers bursaries to support students to attend the bi-annual Australian Agronomy Conference. These bursaries are awarded on a competitive basis and are only available to Australian citizens undertaking postgraduate studies at an international University or postgraduate students studying in Australia. For the 2010 Australian Agronomy Conference, awards of up to $A1,000 will be made.

Bursaries are only awarded to applicants that attend the conference and the recipients are expected to present a paper (oral or poster) at the conference. Remuneration is provided at or after the conference upon the presentation of receipts for travel or registration.

To apply for the bursary please complete the application form and provide a current CV.
