International Training and Scholar Awards

The Crawford Fund encourages greater recognition of the importance of international agricultural research (IAR) and development in Australia, and increased support for IAR by Australian government and non-government organisations. In addition, the Crawford Fund and its State programs support the training of international scientists and extension officers in agricultural development. A number of our State Committees also support annual funding awards for tertiary students.

The Queensland State Committee offers research funding awards for tertiary students. The purpose of the awards is to facilitate active student participation in IAR projects, in order to help them gain valuable international experience and expertise.

Two types of award are available: Honours Research Scholarships and Postgraduate Student Awards. Visit the Qld State Committee page for further information.
