Elevating excellence: Supporting resilient scholars in the RMIT and Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) PhD program.
RMIT University and the Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) established a joint PhD program in 2017.
Within RMIT-AcSIR's cotutelle PhD program, every donation tells a story of hope and resilience. These students, hailing from diverse backgrounds, often defy the odds to pursue academic excellence. Your support will not only provide financial assistance but also signifies a belief in the students’ potential to succeed against all odds.
Distinguished Professor Suresh K Bhargava AM has established a fund at RMIT University, which through a selection panel process aims to reward the best and most resilient PhD students in the RMIT-AcSIR program.
Each student award is valued at AUD$1,000 and is a symbol of recognition for their perseverance. Named after esteemed scientists, it offers more than just monetary value – it provides a pathway to mentorship and inspiration. The recipient will also receive a 30-minute meeting with renowned global leaders of both Australia and India.
Join us in inaugurating these awards, honouring two pioneers whose legacies continue to inspire.
- Dr. Megan Clark – Dr Lakshmi Kantham Award
- Dr Alan Finkel – Dr RA Mashelkar Award
Your contribution fuels the dreams of these deserving scholars, empowering them to carve their path to success.
