Our Undergraduate Vacation Scholarships are run over the Australian summer holidays and offer high achieving and promising undergraduate students the opportunity to collaborate with leading CSIRO scientists in our world class facilities.

Students will contribute to real-world information and technology solutions to improve health services and clinical treatment for Australians. Placements are full time and are between 8- and 12-weeks duration between late November 2020 to mid-February 2021 (although there may be some flexibility). Students will be mentored by leading scientists and engineers in digital health research, and gain access to extensive domestic and international clinical collaborators.

Participation in the Vacation Scholarship Program has influenced previous scholarship holders in their choice of further study and enhanced their future career options. Many have gone on to pursue a PhD in CSIRO or to build a successful research career within CSIRO, a university or industry.
