About this scholarship
Each year the Research School of Astronomy & Astrophysics (RSAA) may offer approximately two awards known as the Alex Rodgers Travel Grant (‘the Award’).
Funding for this Award has been made possible due to an endowment from Mrs Ruth Rodgers in memory of her late husband Professor Alexander Rodgers. Professor Rodgers was a distinguished academic in the field of stellar astronomy and globular clusters, serving as School Director from 1987 to 1992. Professor Rodger’s most significant contribution to the field was his involvement in the MACHO project, an international search for ‘dark matter’.
The objective of the Award is to assist a student currently enrolled in the Doctor of Philosophy in Astronomy & Astrophysics to travel abroad to attend scientific meetings and/or to work with astronomers at another institution on some chosen research project of direct relevance to the thesis work being undertaken.
