CHI Scholarships

In partnership with the Faculty of Engineering and SMART, the Centre for Health Initiatives is offering a range of scholarships for UOW students. If you are in your final year of study, planning on completing an Honours year, or seeking a summer research project, CHI scholarships are a great way to engage with a diverse area of study. Each of the eight available scholarships will involve undertaking research at CHI on the Innovation Campus, and range from 10 weeks to a year in duration. Students completing an Undergrad from Commerce, Engineering, Informatics, and Health & Behavioural Science faculties are encouraged to apply. Topics of these research scholarships include: alcohol advertising in women’s magazines, assessing change in older adults with asthma, and assessing the commuting habits of passengers on the free Gong Shuttle Bus.

Please see below for information on each of the specific scholarships.
