Endowed Development Fund

The Endowed Development Fund offers generous support to students pursuing Antarctic research. Find out how to apply and view a list of previous recipients.

The Antarctic Research Centre has more than $1.3 million committed to the Endowed Development Fund Appeal. This support has come from past and present staff, alumni, colleagues and generous collaborators. We are particularly grateful for substantial contributions made by Webster Drilling & Exploration Ltd, Antarctica New Zealand, Austral Pacific Energy Ltd., Alan Eggers, and Ray Dibble. In 2020, the ARC also committed their $400k Prime Minister's Science Prize award to the fund to support a PhD scholarship in perpetuity.

The Fund supports students with Antarctic interests by helping cover costs of undertaking field work in Antarctica, conference attendance, analytical analyses, and travel for collaborative work at other institutions.

Applications

Applications are sought early in the year (around March) for funding that year. Schools and staff with Antarctic interests are notified by email to pass on to their students.
