UTS Doctoral Scholarships

Overview

Who is eligible?

To be eligible, a student must:

• have completed a Bachelor Degree with First Class Honours, or be regarded by the University as having an equivalent level of attainment; and
• be undertaking a higher degree by research (HDR) at the University in the year of the UTSD (UTSDs are not available to applicants whose enrolment into a postgraduate research program has not been accepted by the University); and
• be enrolled as a full-time student, unless the University has approved a part-time UTSD for a domestic student under paragraph 5.2 of these Conditions; and
• not have completed a degree at the same or higher level as the proposed candidature; and
• not previously have held an Australian Government-funded postgraduate research Stipend, unless it was terminated within six months of the UTSD payments commencing; and
• not be receiving an equivalent award, stipend or salary providing a benefit greater than 75% of the RTP Scholarship stipend rate to undertake the HDR. Income earned from sources unrelated to the course of study is not subject to the 75% rule.

Applicants should ensure that they submit their completed application, including all required supporting documentation, by the relevant application deadline. Incomplete and late applications will not be considered.
