SQA Undergraduate Research Scholarship

Scholarship Information

Level of study: Undergraduate / VET

Closing date: 8/10/2026

The program aims to provide students partway through their undergraduate degree with an opportunity to develop their research skills and inspire them to consider further quantum technology research or related activities. Candidates undertake an exciting 6-week project at one of SQA’s four partner universities, supervised by a leading quantum researcher. Several projects can also be completed partly or fully online. The scholarships are open to students studying at SQA partner universities or attending a university in NSW. The project period is for 6 weeks in December to March (exact dates will depend on project supervisor availability), on a full-time basis (35 hours/week for six weeks during normal working hours unless advised otherwise by the supervisor). Flexible arrangements can be made to accommodate, for example, carer responsibilities.
