Types of research scholarships

Industry and project-specific
We've partnered with a range of organisations to create tax-free scholarships for research students who are working on individual industry-linked projects.
Research Training Program stipends
We offer Research Training Program stipends to eligible domestic research students. If you're an international student, check out our other scholarships.
Externally-funded
To apply for an externally-funded scholarship, you'll need a 'Letter of Offer' to prove you've been accepted into an HDR course. These can take up to six weeks to process.
