Elevating excellence: Supporting resilient scholars in the RMIT and Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) PhD program.
RMIT University and the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) established the RMIT-AcSIR Joint Research Program.
Within RMIT-AcSIR's cotutelle PhD program, every donation tells a story of hope and resilience. These students, hailing from diverse backgrounds, often defy the odds to pursue academic excellence. Your support will not only provide financial assistance but also signifies a belief in the students’ potential to succeed against all odds.
Distinguished Professor Suresh K Bhargava AM has established a fund at RMIT University, which through a selection panel process aims to reward the best and most resilient PhD students in the RMIT-AcSIR program.
Each student award is valued at AUD$1,000 and is a symbol of recognition for their perseverance. Named after esteemed scientists, it offers more than just monetary value – it provides a pathway to mentorship and inspiration. The recipient will also have the opportunity for a short mentoring meeting with the renowned global leaders their award is named after in both India and Australia.
Join us in inaugurating these awards, honouring two pioneers whose legacies continue to inspire.
- Dr. Megan Clark – Dr Lakshmi Kantam Award
- Dr Alan Finkel – Dr RA Mashelkar Award
Your contribution fuels the dreams of these deserving scholars, empowering them to carve their path to success.
