These bursaries are being offered to students undertaking research at the post-graduate level in a university in Australia or New Zealand, into areas relating to the education, support and well-being of international students studying in these countries.

Several bursaries will be offered and they will be awarded at the conference dinner of the 20th ISANA Conference 2009 which will be held in Canberra, on 1 - 4 December, 2009.

The bursaries will be awarded for a refereed paper authored or co-authored by the student, presented at the conference, and deemed to be most worthy by the selection panel.

Bursaries will range in value from $A1500.00 to $A500.00. All of the bursaries will be accompanied by a conference registration fee waiver, to allow the recipients to present their papers and receive their awards.

Applications for these bursaries can be made by visiting the conference website at www.cdesign.com.au/isana09 and completing the appropriate section. An abstract must be submitted to the conference at the time of application. Applications for these bursaries close on 8 May, 2009.
