The National Archives of Australia/Australian Historical Association scholarship helps postgraduate students with their research costs.

Award

Recipients are acknowledged as 'National Archives of Australia/Australian Historical Association postgraduate scholars'.

We award 4 scholarships once a year, giving each recipient $2375 credit towards digitisation of whole paper files from our collection. The credit is based on our current copying charges (GST included)

• a designated reference officer to assist them
