Indigenous Scholars Program
Supporting scholars to amplify Indigenous voices in water policy, management, planning and futures.
With the aim to attract and support Indigenous students with an interest in water, the Institute for Water Futures established the Indigenous Scholars Program (ISP). The ISP upholds the IWF’s commitment to co-production of knowledge with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, as well as ongoing engagement and mutual capacity building through research.
The program is designed to assist Indigenous scholars to enter tertiary study, successfully complete their studies, gain work-related employment and continue alumni contact with future generations of ISP graduates.
