2010/2011 NICAI Summer Scholarships

At a well-attended Postgraduate Info Evening on 30 September 2010, 16 students from every discipline across NICAI were awarded Summer Scholarships in order to get started on their postgraduate research during the summer months. Given the high number and quality of the applications, the NICAI Postgraduate Committee obtained support for 5 additional scholarships from NICAI and the University, bringing our total allocation to 16.
