WAARC’s Scholarship program provides successful applicants with top-up scholarships to the value of about $25,000 a year for up to 3.5 years, to support their living expenses while completing their PhDs.
The Scholarship program is a significant $2.25 million investment by the WA State Government to encourage bright research minds into the agriculture and food sector.
The students will be supervised and supported by WAARC’s university members – Curtin University, Murdoch University, and The University of Western Australia.
They will also be part of a professional development program aimed at building their agricultural research and development knowledge, skills, networks, and first-hand industry experience. See the Postgraduate program page for more information.
WAARC’s non-university members CSIRO, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, and Grower Group Alliance will provide access to leading industry researchers as possible co-supervisors, world-class research facilities, field sites, grower groups, and industry networks.
Students’ research projects will be aligned with one or more of WAARC’s six key research programs: Northern Agriculture, Grains Transformation, Climate Resilience, Agricultural Technologies, Aboriginal Science Engagement, and Capacity Building and Extension.
