We award three AGL Shaw Summer Research Fellowships each year. You must be a Victorian honours or postgraduate student to apply. Two $1200 fellowships are awarded to postgraduate students living in Melbourne. A third fellowship is awarded to a student from regional Victoria, who receives $1200 plus a living-away-from-home allowance.
Fellowship requirements
If you're successful, you'll need to:
- conduct your research for four weeks between 9 January and 29 February 2012
- make significant use of our collections
- spend your research time at the Library
- give a presentation of your research results and provide a written report
Selection process
Our CEO awards the fellowships, based on the advice of a panel of senior staff, to applicants whose research will make strong use of our collections.
Selection is based on written applications only, and three referees' names and contact details must be included.
Key dates
Applications for the 2012 fellowships are now closed.
