UTS policy on the award of prizes

Scholarships and prizes are awarded each year to students in the University for meritorious work. These are made available through the generosity of private individuals and public organisations. They are offered each semester, annually or biennially. In rare instances, a scholarship or prize will be offered only when funds permit. Most scholarships and prizes are offered subject to the provision that they will be awarded only when a student has attained a mark or level of achievement considered by the faculty board concerned to be sufficiently high. In addition to these official University scholarships and prizes, a number of scholarships and prizes are available from external sources.

Further information is available from the University's Policy and Procedures for the Administration of Prizes and the Guidelines for Acceptance of New Prizes.

Scholarships

Postgraduate research scholarships

All permanent residents/citizens of Australia applying for a higher research degree can also apply for a scholarship. Broadly, there are two types of scholarship.

Scholarships with stipend

A scholarship with stipend provides periodical payments to students while they are studying and an exemption from any tuition fees.

Scholarships offered in this category include:

Scholarships without stipend

A scholarship without stipend provides no payments to students but offers an exemption from any tuition fees. These scholarships, provided by the Commonwealth Government, are called Research Training Scheme (RTS) places and include:

As there is no stipend, students do not receive any payment to help with their study.
