A E Ringwood Supplementary Scholarship

The A.E. Ringwood Supplementary Scholarship is offered by the Research School of Earth Sciences (RSES) at the Australian National University. This scholarship is designed to attract students of high calibre to pursue PhD research in Earth Sciences. The scholarship provides supplementary funding to successful candidates who have already been awarded a full Tuition Fee Scholarship and an ANU stipend scholarship. The scholarship provides $8,002 per annum in supplementary funding, paid fortnightly over a period of 3 years. Recipients may be eligible for a 6-month extension. The scholarship is awarded to the highest ranked eligible candidate, so there is no separate application process beyond the standard PhD application. Awardees receive additional benefits including travel to Canberra, reimbursement of some removal expenses, and thesis reimbursement allowance. The scholarship must be taken up by 31 March. Continuation is based on maintaining the base stipend scholarships. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the relevant convener or a prospective supervisor prior to lodging an application to discuss the proposed research topic and related matters.
