Nature of the Award

Scholarships may be established in three categories:

• to provide full scholarship support for a student
• a scholarship that is supplementary to a primary award as a means of attracting high calibre students to a particular research area
• an award to provide continuity of funding for a student for a limited period following the expiry of a primary award.

It is not possible for a student to hold two major scholarships simultaneously. However, many major awards allow candidates to receive an additional supplementary scholarship. Supplementary awards should not exceed 75% of the value of the primary award. It should be noted that some scholarships and supplementary awards cannot be held in conjunction with other awards. Eligibility to hold two supplementary awards should be verified prior to offer.

Research grant holders should be aware that international students are liable for tuition fees that may be in the vicinity of $20,000 per annum. Payment of fees cannot be made through scholarships funded from ARC grants.
