ANU Master of Philosophy Scholarship

This is a stipend scholarship offered by ANU Colleges to Master of Philosophy (MPhil) candidates. The scholarship provides financial support for research students undertaking a Master of Philosophy degree at the Australian National University. It is normal for recipients to undertake study on a full-time basis, however, in accordance with strict criteria, the scholarship can be awarded for part-time study for Domestic candidates only. International scholars must undertake study on a full-time basis. The scholarship is valued at $39,069 per annum, with payments made fortnightly over 1.5 years. Additional benefits include travel and removal allowances for students relocating to Canberra to commence their research program, thesis allowance, dependant child allowance for international students, and paid medical and parental leave. A 6-month extension is available under certain conditions. These scholarships are available to potential and current students who are domestic or international students, have applied for admission to a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) program, and have a Bachelor degree with first-class honours (some Colleges may consider students with upper second-class honours), or a Master degree with a research component or equivalent from a recognised university. No separate application is required for this scholarship as all eligible candidates will be automatically considered when they apply for admission to the MPhil program. The scholarship is awarded based on academic merit and continuation is based on academic performance. Selection occurs through multiple rounds throughout the year, with different deadlines for domestic and international applicants.
