Norman McCann Summer Scholarships

Scholarship Description

This scholarship was established following a donation from former National Library Council Member, the late Norman McCann, in order to support younger scholars undertaking research in Australian history & literature. The scholarships are tenable for a period of six weeks commencing the first working day in January each year. Applications are sought from students who are aged under 30 on 31 December on the year of application & who have commenced postgraduate study. The scholarships are intended to support the early stages of a research project, rather than the completion and writing up of a thesis. Applicants should outline their research proposal and the relationship of their proposal to the Library’s collection. See NLA website for scholarship conditions, application procedures & online form. The scholarship is closed. Next round will be advised in due course.
