ANZACATA–JoCAT Author Support Bursary

Each year two bursaries are awarded to ANZACATA members to provide mentorship to authors whose submissions show great potential and require some assistance to develop them to the journal’s standard for publication. The program provides mentorship/assistance to new, Indigenous and/or diverse authors, promoting a variety of voices and perspectives from the ANZACATA region while acknowledging the international positioning of the journal.

Please visit the JoCAT website for more information about the program, eligibility criteria, and to view past recipients’ research.
