ANU College of Science International Joint and Dual Award PhD Scholarship

The ANU College of Science International Joint and Dual Award PhD Scholarship is awarded annually to outstanding international candidates pursuing an international Institutional Joint or Dual Award PhD program. The scholarship is specifically designed to support students enrolling in collaborative doctoral programs with partner institutions in India, including the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) or Indian Institute of Technology - Madras (IITM). The award aims to provide comprehensive financial support to enable exceptional international students to undertake research-based doctoral studies in the sciences at the Australian National University while maintaining an institutional partnership with these prestigious Indian institutions. The scholarship provides substantial benefits including a stipend scholarship equivalent to the Australian Government Research Training Program (AGRTP) stipend, which is indexed annually on January 1st. International recipients may also be eligible for an HDR Fee Remission Merit Scholarship to cover international student fees for the standard duration of the Higher Degree Research program, subject to competitive merit-based selection. Recipients are responsible for costs including books, study materials, accommodation, and other study-related expenses. The award is paid in fortnightly instalments for a period of 1.5 years, with continuation based on maintaining full-time study load. Up to 6 awards are available each year, and eligible students who apply for the Institutional Joint or Dual Award PhD program within the College of Science are automatically considered without requiring a separate application.
