Student Grant Programme 2025
The Herpetology Asia Student Grant Programme (HAS-GP) financially supports academic students, especially undergraduate and master students. This grant is available only for individual students (not for organizations or groups), because our aim is to strengthening research capacity of young researchers in Indonesia. Therefore, it is expected that the students enhance their research skills, knowledge, and experience through their own research work. We fund each project for a maximum duration of one year so, the application for next year will be available by end of this year. The deadline for each application is 31 December in each year and consult our lab members before applying.
Grant Amount and Duration. The maximum grant size is:
⸻IDR 5.000.000 (for undergraduate students/ mahasiswa S1);
⸻IDR 10.000.000 (for master students/ mahasiswa S2); and
⸻IDR 15.000.000 (for PhD students/ mahasiswa S3).
