Student Vacation Scholarships
Open for applications - Closing Date: 5.00pm Wednesday 10th November 2010
Purpose Cancer Council SA offers scholarships each year to undergraduates interested in participating in research projects directly related to cancer. These scholarships are tenable for up to eight weeks and will be available during the summer holiday period in recognised research institutions in South Australia. The scholarships are intended to stimulate the interest of students in research and to gauge their research aptitude.
