Scholarship Description:
The ACIAR Fellowships Scheme was introduced in 1986 to provide the
opportunity for partner country scientists involved in ACIAR-supported
collaborative research projects to obtain postgraduate qualifications at
Australian tertiary institutions.ostgraduate studies undertaken by each
awardee are based on the research work being carried out under the
collaborative research project in which the awardee is engaged prior to
taking up the award. However, it is important that the student’s
research project forms a discrete topic related to, but not part of, the
existing ACIAR project. The study program should be designed to provide
the awardee with the opportunity of continuing active involvement in
the project research work throughout his or her studies, and sufficient
knowledge to continue the research effort on final return to their home
country. ACIAR will in certain circumstances support course work
postgraduate degrees.
