Each year the Australasian Centre for Italian Studies (ACIS) advertises up to three scholarships of up to $5000 each for Australasians wishing to undertake research in Italy the following year.

The awards are funded by the Cassamarca Foundation. They are available to students at Australasian universities who will be enrolled, full-time or part-time in the relevant year, in honours, research masters or PhD degrees and who will be engaged in research projects in any of the following areas of Italian studies: archaeology and classical antiquities, language, literature, culture, history, politics and society, including migration studies. Successful applicants will have a knowledge of Italian adequate for their research purposes. Scholarships will not be awarded to attend language classes in Italy.
