A range of scholarships are available for graduate researchers undertaking a higher degree by research. A scholarship provides financial assistance to support you while you study. Some scholarships provide a stipend that covers fees and living allowances, while others only provide partial funding.Scholarships are usually provided for two years for a Masters by Research degree, and three years for a Doctoral program, although previous study credited towards the award will be deducted from the scholarship.
Eligibility for scholarships varies depending on the scholarship, and whether you are an Australian student (defined as an Australian citizen/permanent resident) or an international student.
