The planned activities of WQRA include the development of an Education program focused on the training of high quality students at the postgraduate level. In addition, WQRA will fund Summer Research Scholarships to provide talented undergraduate students with an introduction to water-related research.


WQRA-ARC PhD Scholarship
This full scholarship ($25,000 stipend) is available for an ARC-funded project to be undertaken in Adelaide. The project involves characterising the interactions of Cryptosporidium with other microorganisms isolated from naturally occurring biofilms and sediments. An outline of the project and application details are available.

PhD Top-up Scholarships
Four PhD top-up scholarships are available - the Nancy Millis Scholarship and 3 WQRA Top-up scholarships. These scholarships are available for a range of PhD projects at WQRA member universities. Project outlines and application details are available. Note: applicants must also apply for an Australian Postgraduate Award (or equivalent) scholarship at the host university for the relevant project
.

Summer Research Scholarships
Applications for 2008/09 WQRA Summer Research Scholarships have now closed and the successful applicants have been notified.
These 10-week scholarships provide talented undergraduates with an introduction to career and research opportunities relevant to the needs of the Australian water industry.

The first round of WQRA Summer Research Scholarships was offered for the summer of 2007/08 in conjunction with the final round of CRC Summer Research Scholarships. These students presented their work at a joint Seminar in Melbourne on 21 February 2008.
