ARC Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Futures Top-Up Scholarship

The Indigenous Futures Centre supports the next generation of Indigenous researchers through an attractive top-up scholarship and research support funds. The Centre provides PhD candidates with training, mentoring and career opportunities as part of Australia's first Indigenous-led, transdisciplinary research program addressing the nation's most pressing social research issues. The research program conceptually shifts away from deficit-based approaches toward accentuating Indigenous self-determination. Projects align with three interconnected research themes: Law and Justice, Education and Economics, and Health and Wellbeing. The ARC Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Futures aims to transform the lives of Indigenous Australians through innovative research that works with community and stakeholders to produce evidence-based, impactful results to fundamentally change Indigenous policies and programs.
