Each year ARCS offers two scholarships to Full Members of the Association. The scholarships are designed to enable Members to undertake a project relevant to their work and to other ARCS members – this may be a professional development project or an original research project. Each scholarship is awarded up to the value of $10,000. So, if you would like the opportunity to undertake a research project, expand your own knowledge, raise your profile within ARCS and help to increase the knowledge of other ARCS members – please apply!
Osmond-Russell Scholarship

In her memory, the ARCS Board and members voted overwhelmingly at the time to establish a Scholarship in recognition of her very positive contribution to ARCS during the early years.
