Who can apply

• The page states no citizenship or nationality condition for this scheme, so we assert none; the 'any Australian university' phrase elsewhere on the page belongs to the honours programme, not to these scholarships. It is open to undergraduate science or medical science students in first year or higher, which makes it unusually early-accessible compared with most vacation programmes, and the application form confirms first-year students are genuinely in scope. You must be available for at least eight weeks between mid November and the end of February, and the form asks this as a required question. You must email a CV and academic transcript to [email protected] separately from the form, and the application is not processed without them. The placement is physically at CMRI in Westmead, Sydney.
