Scholarship Opportunities for Domestic Applicants in 2008

Domestic Applicants are students who are Australian & NZ Citizens and Australian Permanent Residents.

The Research School of Biological Sciences is committed to provide scholarship support for all intending domestic PhD students, subject only to the necessary requirements – that the student’s record meets the University’s admission requirements for Higher Degree Research enrolment, that the student’s qualification is in a relevant discipline and the support and availability of a supervisor. This ANU PhD Scholarship will be at the rate of an Australian Postgraduate Award $20,006 (2008).

In the first instance all domestic scholarship applicants should apply for the Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) by selecting this scholarship on the online form. The APA is a prestigious scholarship funded by the Australian Government. These scholarships are limited and are awarded to outstanding applicants in a competitive process. RSBS also funds a number of ANU PhD scholarships for domestic students, and applicants should also select this option on the online form. Other relevant scholarships offered by RSBS Centres listed below can be listed in the ‘Other Scholarships’ section of the online application form.

External scholarships, such as Industry-funded, Australian Research Council, CRCs and scholarships from research and development councils (eg RIRDC, GRDC, Horticulture Australia) should also be considered. Your supervisor may also suggest additional external funding avenues to be explored.

Competition for Scholarships is such that Masters Applicants are often excluded; however there is opportunity for independently funded students to undertake Masters Study within the School.
