ANU IWF Indigenous Honours Scholarship

The IWF Indigenous Honours Scholarship supports Indigenous students to pursue an Honours year focusing on water related research. The IWF recognises the value of water from environmental, cultural, emotional and economic perspectives.  We believe that lasting solutions to water related challenges require interdisciplinary action.  For these reasons, we will consider applications from any field provided there is a clear connection to water. Through the scholarship, we hope to amplify Indigenous voices in water policy, planning, management and justice.
