The Australian Institute of Geoscientists' Student Bursary Program was initiated to promote and support geoscience research and education in Australia.  The Bursary Program began in 2001 to mark the 20^th Anniversary of the AIG and, since then, the AIG has awarded over 115 bursaries to Australian geoscience students.

The AIG Student Bursary Program is open to students who, at the closing date for applications, are:

• enrolled at Third Year, Honours or Postgraduate level in a geoscience course at an Australian tertiary institution;
• Australian citizens or permanent residents;
• current and financial Fellows, Members, Graduate Members, or Student Members of the AIG.
