Every year, FESAus awards the Hugh Crocker Scholarship to a full time honours, post graduate or PhD student in Australia, who is undertaking a project: with relevance to Formation Evaluation, and that has strong scholastic merit.

The recipient receives a substantial monetary award (currently AUD 5,000), and the opportunity to present the project at the FESAus monthly technical meeting.

The FESAus Committee is currently actively looking at awarding the Scholarship again in 2010.
