These scholarships, for continuing Domestic undergraduate civil engineering students, provide a range of benefits which may include financial support, paid vacation work, access to career mentoring advice from practising engineers and possible, or in some cases guaranteed, post-graduation employment. Please note that scholarships supported by regional organisations are not available for International Students. Total values are estimated assuming completion of your course in four years and the typical placement period and rate of pay for work experience.

They are awarded annually and applications open at various times of the year. Please check again later for updates on other scholarships.
