We have hundreds of government and University funded scholarships available for Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students, meaning you have more time to focus on impactful research. Our research degree and PhD scholarships will support you during your studies and can cover tuition fees, overseas student health cover or living allowances. Our domestic scholarship recipients receive an above university average $33,500 per annum stipend (tax exempt). For the best chance at securing a scholarship, you’ll need an H1 grade average or equivalent.
HDR scholarship opportunities
If you are a top ranking domestic or international HDR student, you might be eligible for the Australian Government's Research Training Program (RTP). RTP recipients can access a stipend, fees offset and allowance for relocation.
The Deakin University Postgraduate Research Scholarship (DUPR) is also available to domestic and international students. DUPR is funded by the University and also allows recipients to access a stipend, fees offset and allowance for relocation.
