About this scholarship
Applications are now open for the brand new HASS Globetrotters Grant, for HASS students wishing to travel for an extra-curricular opportunity that enhances your employability.
There is no better way to develop many of the qualities that employers expect than to experience the world beyond your own environment - it helps you build confidence, resilience and experience new things that might help you realise what career prospects are available to you. We want to support students who show initiative to seek out extra-curricular international opportunities that are a bit ‘out of the ordinary’. This could include but is not limited to:
- Conferences
- Leadership programs
- Research programs
- Professional development workshops
- Internships or field experience
