Undergraduate Scholarship Instructions 2024
Applications for these scholarships must be made directly to the Trust and must be supported by an academic referee from the University at which the student is enrolled or intends to enrol.
In 2025, the Trust will support up to 11 Undergraduate Project and Masters by Coursework Scholarships. These are awarded to students undertaking a final year project (3rd, 4th or Honours year) or a Masters by Course Work. All Scholarships require the student to complete a research project and write a thesis.
The scholarships have been in effect since 2007. The total value of each scholarship is $7000.
The research project must be relevant to wool and/or wool sheep. This relevance is the most significant criterion considered by the selection panel in assessing applications. Preference is given, but not limited, to Agriculture/Animal Science students.
The funds, unless otherwise specified, are split equally between the student and the University. The University’s component is to cover costs arising from the project. However, the University and the student may negotiate how these funds will be split and, consequently the split of the funds must be specified in the application.
The students are obligated to provide the Trust with an abstract or summary report of their Thesis for publication on Woolwise. Alternatively, they can provide their Thesis or a copy of a journal paper produced from the material in the Thesis.
