Playford Trust/Nyrstar Scholarships is now open for applications from suitably qualified students. It is a fully funded scholarship for all students sponsored by Flinders University.
About the Scholarship
Flinders University is a public university in Adelaide, South Australia. Founded in 1966, it was named in honor of navigator Matthew Flinders, who explored and surveyed the South Australian coastline in the early 19th century.
The scholarship involves a paid eight to twelve week work placement at Nyrstar’s Port Pirie Smelter over the summer vacation with placements taking place before third-year and before fourth-year studies begin.
Scholarship holders will be paid generously for each work placement, but are expected to meet their own living expenses while on their placement.

The scholarships are valued at $10,000 a year, for two years.
