Conference Bursaries

The Australian Society of Agronomy is offering 15 bursaries to support students and young professionals to attend the 13th Australian Agronomy Conference in Perth, WA between 10-14 September 2006. These bursaries will be awarded on a competitive basis; 10 are intended to be awarded to students and 5 to young professionals.

The bursaries will be to the value of AUD $550 for applicants from interstate and overseas and $300 for applicants based in Western Australia. Bursaries will only be awarded to applicants that attend the conference and we expect that applicants will present a paper (oral or poster) at the conference.
