Terms and Conditions
It is an Auditors requirement that all scholarships are governed by a set of Conditions of Award. Please edit these Conditions to suit your purpose and return them to the Manager, Scholarships, Office of Research and Development for approval.
The proposed level of study of the recipient of a postgraduate research scholarship should be at the Master's by Research or Doctoral level.
Please be aware that allowances such as relocation costs, additional sick leave, maternity leave and costs towards thesis preparation may be given, but are not a compulsory benefit. These allowances will increase the cost of the award to the enrolling area.
In the case of a full scholarship it is expected that the level of funding will be sufficient to support the student for the duration of their degree (or the balance thereof for enrolled students).
The tenure of an award is normally up to two years for a Master's by Research student and three years for a Doctoral student (or the balance thereof for enrolled students). Provision may be made for an extension of up to six months for PhD candidates.
Prior Continuation of a scholarship is subject to:
- satisfactory progress as determined by the enrolling school or department in an annual review of progress at the end of each academic year (Annual Progress Report). Where it has been determined that an award should be suspended, or terminated, due to unsatisfactory academic progress, the candidate shall have the right of appeal.
- a decision by an external agency, where the duration and funding may not necessarily be within the control of the University. In the event that funding or a particular scholarship by an external agency is withdrawn, for any reason, the University shall not be liable for the provision of alternative scholarship support.
