This year the Australian Institute of Geoscientists is offering several student bursaries valued between $1000 and $4000 and we are inviting applications from Postgraduate, Honours and Third Year geoscience students.

In addition to AIG bursaries offered in all geoscience fields, the AIG also offers a number of sponsored bursaries to students working in specific fields of geoscience or geological terrains, or enrolled at specific universities.  These sponsored bursaries include:
