Mr Mulherin said: “The annual $5000 Marine Fish Habitat Scholarship will be offered to CQ University Australia honours students for the first time in 2009.<\/p>\n
“The DPI&F scholarship will provide scientific research funding in the area of marine fish habitat and is open to all honours students who commence their study in semester 1, 2009.<\/p>\n
“The student’s research will contribute to our priority marine fish habitat projects including land use impacts, marine plant management and also the rehabilitation of fish habitats in Queensland.”<\/p>\n
“This scholarship will also help the department establish closer links between fisheries management and honours research conducted in Central Queensland.<\/p>\n
“This is the first time a scholarship of this kind has been offered to CQ University Australia students.<\/p>\n
“It follows similar scholarship programs that have already been established in southern Queensland through University of Queensland and in northern Queensland through James Cook University.”<\/p>\n
“DPI&F offers ten other scholarships ranging from programs for PhD and Masters scholars to supporting indigenous students through secondary school combined with work experience projects,” Mr Mulherin said.<\/p>\n
CQ University Australia, Director of Development and Graduate Relations, Suzi Blair, said the scholarship was an excellent opportunity for the university and DPI&F to support higher education research.<\/p>\n
“The scholarship is a wonderful example of how organisations partnering with the university can provide immense community benefit,” said Mrs Blair.<\/p>\n
