SUMMER SCHOLARSHIPS
Applications for 2017 Summer Scholarships have opened and close 30 September 2016.
We offer annual summer scholarships to support younger scholars undertaking postgraduate research requiring special access to the Library’s collections. These scholarships are made possible through the generosity of the family of the late Norman McCann (a former National Library Council Member), and of John and Heather Seymour.
Preference for Norman McCann Scholarships will be given to those working in the disciplines of Australian history, Australian literature, librarianship, archives administration or museum studies. Preference for Seymour Scholarships will be for those undertaking biographical research.
The scholarships are tenable for a period of six weeks commencing in the second week of January each year. Scholars have privileged access to the Library’s materials and facilities, as well as sustained interaction with many of its staff.

Who can apply?
The scholarships are open to students who have commenced postgraduate study and are under the age of thirty at 31 December in the year of their application (born on, or after the 1 Jan 1987). Applicants must be Australian citizens or have permanent residency. Preference will be given to applicants who would otherwise find it difficult to use the Library’s collections for reasons such as geographic distance from Canberra.
In selecting scholars the National Library of Australia Fellowships Advisory Committee will consider:
- relevance of the National Library's collections to the project
- academic potential of the applicant
- referee reports
