CASS Study Tour and Field Trip Bursary
The ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) Study Tour and Field Trip Travel Bursary is a bursary for students in financial need who are going on an approved CASS short-term domestic or international study tour or field trip that counts toward academic credit.
Successful applicants are paid in one instalment prior to departure upon proof of enrolment into the short-term study tour or field trip course. Bursaries range from $500 to $2500 depending on the student's application, financial need, destination country and length of trip.
