Never before has plant energy biology been so important, as world energy resources dry up and our food supplies fail to match growing populations.

Plant Energy Biology can help you secure several types of scholarships available for students undertaking projects in the centre's research programs. Availability of these different options depends on the project chosen and its supervision.

Scholarships are in recognition of excellence in students, and are designed to help you focus on your project without the need to find external paid work.
