2026 ARSC - Rural and Regional Scholarship

The Rural and Regional Scholarship aims to support individuals working in the road safety sector who live in rural and regional areas in Australia and New Zealand, and who would otherwise be unable to attend the conference. Ideally, this scholarship will help the applicant gather and apply new knowledge in their own workplaces and/or communities to improve road safety outcomes. The scholarship provides the recipient with an opportunity to collaborate with colleagues, share knowledge, and form lasting connections and networks in the interests of road safety in their community.

Applicants for these scholarships do NOT have to submit a conference abstract to be eligible.
