A scholarship might just provide the helping hand you need to make university life a little easier.
Not
only do scholarships provide financial assistance, but they often include valuable work experience, mentoring opportunities and sometimes even overseas travel.
We have a range of scholarships and grants to support your success at university, and encourage you to apply.

Her work is a comparative study of regional local government in South Australia and Victoria examining how State-initiated policies are administered by local governments, and exploring through the exploration of how the decisions of local governments can influence affordable housing outcomes.
Congratulations Jessica!

PhD Scholar and Lecturer in Education at Mount Gambier, Chelsea Cutting, is taking off to Italy and Germany to present her research next month.
The
project is investigating how preservice teachers can become more aware of their presence (and reflective of their pedagogy), when filmed while implementing a maths professional development teaching episode with their peers, by 360 cameras. This is a collaboration between UniSA academics and the University of Bologna, Italy.
Chelsea is also presenting her PhD work, which is titled ‘Re-thinking fraction instruction: The case for an alternative approach for the early years of primary school.’ She is also investigating the role spatial reasoning may play in enhancing young children’s initial fraction ideas – specifically related to conceptualising the magnitude and density of fractions.
UniSA Mount Gambier is lucky to have such a scholar as part
of the staff here on campus. |
