Overview
Each year the Commonwealth Department of Education and Training provides funding to Universities to award scholarships to students undertaking Higher Degree Research programs.
From 1 January 2017, the Australian Government is replacing the Research Training Scheme (RTS) with a single program, the Australian Government Research Training Program (AGRTP or RTP). As current support programs are not continuing beyond 1 January 2017, the University is required by legislation to transfer all RTS recipients to the new Australian Government Research Training Program Domestic Fee Offset Scholarship.
Eligibility
Domestic students automatically receive a RTP Domestic Fee Offset scholarship when admitted to an eligible HDR program at the University.
Benefits
The Australian Government Research Training Program Domestic Fee Offset Scholarship covers tuition fees for 4 years.
