Dear Cathryn,

We are excited to announce that Science & Technology Australia is offering eight scholarships to the 21st anniversary Science meets Parliament, to be held virtually from 2 March to 1 April 2021.

Two Scholarships are open to STEM practitioners in each of the following categories:

  *   Indigenous STEM Scholarships for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people;
  *   STEM Pride Scholarships for members of the LGBTQI community;
  *   Regional STEM Scholarships for STEM practitioners who work in remote or regional Australia (greater than 150 kilometres from a major capital city);
  *   Technology Scholarships for STEM practitioners working in the technologically based areas of engineering and information technology.

Scholarships will cover full registration including the national gala dinner (if the recipient is located in one of the host cities), one-on-one mentoring from a previous delegate and attendance to the ‘Becoming an online influencer’ webinar – an exclusive event for scholarship recipients and supporters.

To be eligible for the scholarships you must be a member of, or employed by, an STA member organisation<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/z-iVCVARKgCA530PCzFavC?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.us9.list-manage.com>.

Science meets Parliament brings Australian scientists and technologists together with professional development, networking, and to meet with members of parliament and Senators. It is a highlight of the annual parliamentary calendar and has enhanced mutual understanding between parliamentarians and scientists as well as fostering enduring partnerships and collaborations for more than two decades.

Applications close on 17 February 2021.

We are grateful to our Scholarship sponsors for helping us provide these opportunities – EQUS (Indigenous and STEM Pride Scholarships), Brighter (Regional and Technology Scholarships), and the Australian Academy of Science (Indigenous Scholarship).
