Bok Honours Year Scholarship in Astrophysics

Each year, the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics (RSAA) in the ANU College of Science may offer an award known as the Bok Honours Year Scholarship in Astrophysics. The objective of the award is to support students with an outstanding academic record to undertake their Honours year in Astronomy and Astrophysics with the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics in the ANU College of Science. The Scholarship is offered in honour of the late Professor Bart J. Bok, a former Director of the Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories from 1957 to 1966 and Professor of Astronomy at the Australian National University.

The award is valued at $5,000 and paid in two instalments at the beginning of each semester. Applicants who transfer their enrolment to ANU for their Honours year, and whose permanent place of residence is outside Canberra, may be eligible for an additional amount of up to $4,000.

The award is available each year to a prospective or continuing ANU student who:

(a) is a domestic or international student; and (b) is enrolled/enrolling in the Astronomy and Astrophysics Honours Year within the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics in the ANU College of Science
