The Parliamentary Library offers two summer research scholarships for postgraduate students each year. Scholars work alongside specialist researchers in the Parliamentary Library in Canberra for a period of six weeks (January–February 2019) to produce a report on a topic of relevance to the Library’s research program.

- receive training and access the Library’s specialist collections and databases
- interact with subject-matter experts, and be guided by a mentor who will provide advice during the scholarship.
Upon successful completion of the scholarship, an honorarium of $1,800 is paid.
