ACA Foundation Scholarships: Empowering the Corrosion Industry
The Australasian Corrosion Association (ACA), in partnership with the ACA Foundation, offers annual scholarships to assist members in attending key events such as our training courses and the Annual Corrosion & Prevention Conference. Thanks to the generous support of our corporate partners, we are able to promote the growth and professional development of our members, providing new opportunities across all sectors and age groups within the corrosion industry.
Each year, ACA releases its scholarship opportunities ahead of the Annual Corrosion & Prevention Conference to encourage participation in programs created with the ACA Foundation. Stay updated by checking our website, newsletters, and social media for the latest scholarship announcements.
Scholarships are open to applicants from a wide range of corrosion-related industries, including but not limited to galvanizing, cathodic protection, coating specification and application, structural engineering, materials science, and research.
Several scholarships are dedicated to supporting younger and student members, reflecting ACA’s commitment to building a strong foundation of knowledge and expertise for the future.
