Scholarships

Undertaking a research degree is a long-term commitment. If you are planning to study towards a research degree you may need financial support. Scholarships can help pay fees and living costs while studying. We have scholarships to help you with your studies.

We offer prestigious scholarships for both domestic and international research candidates. In most cases, these scholarships are available to Australian or New Zealand citizens or Australian permanent residents.

You can now apply for admission to your research degree and apply for a research scholarship at the same time. Learn more.

All scholarship applications should be submitted in full and before the due date. Incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
