How to Apply

Applications by e-mail are strongly preferred. Please send your  
application as a single Word or PDF document attachment to the AAO  
Student Fellowship Coordinator, A.Prof. Andrew Hopkins (ahopkins@aao.gov.au 
). The application should include the following:

- Full name and contact address (it is essential to include an e-mail  
address).
- Full details of university studies, including a transcript of  
academic record (if your university supplies only hardcopy  
transcripts, please scan it and send us the JPEG or PDF file).
- Names and e-mail addresses of TWO academic referees who have been  
asked to e-mail letters to Dr Hopkins by the application deadline,  
outlining the applicant's suitability for this scholarship program.  
The AAO does not chase up late referees, and missing references can  
hinder your chances of selection.
- A one page statement giving the applicant's reasons for applying and  
his/her interests in Astronomy/Astrophysics/Instrumentation.

Please contact Andrew Hopkins with any queries about the program or
the application process.
