Scholarships

Opportunities exist for applicants to apply for UQ merit-based scholarships in February, May, August and November. Financial assistance is available to both domestic and international students and can include:
 

• living allowances for domestic and international students
• tuition fees and overseas health cover (OSHC) for international students
• international travel awards

To be considered for scholarships you must have received an unconditional offer of admission from the UQ Graduate School to the PhD or MPhil program, and be nominated by QBI.

Full information about these schemes can be found at the UQ Graduate School website: http://www.uq.edu.au/grad-school/scholarships-and-fees.

Scholarships are extremely competitive, especially for the International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS), which pays tuition fees for overseas students. Having peer-reviewed research publications would be beneficial.

International students can also consider schemes such as the Endeavour Postgraduate Award and are encouraged to find external scholarship opportunities from their home countries. QBI may be able to support a tuition fee waiver for eligible international applicants who can secure external funding to the value of an APA stipend (http://www.uq.edu.au/grad-school/apa).

Information on other postgraduate scholarships both international and domestic may be obtained from the JASON (Joint Academic Scholarship Online Network) database at http://www.jason.edu.au.
Support is also available for interstate students: http://www.uq.edu.au/grad-school/supporting-interstate-students
