WQRA Introduction

WQRA Honours Scholarships are awarded to students of exceptional research potential who are currently undertaking a relevant degree (e.g. science, social science or engineering). WQRA provides students with the opportunity to enhance their research skills and professional development in a wide range of water industry related areas. Students who excel in this focussed program will build capacity in the area of water research, which will in turn provide them with good opportunity for employment in the water industry or to progress to postgraduate degree in a water-related field of research.
