CRC TiME Top-Up Scholarship

The Cooperative Research Centre for Transformations in Mining Economies (CRC TiME) offers scholarships of up to 3.5 years duration to eligible higher degree research (HDR) students who participate in CRC TiME Research Programs. Currently the scholarships are awarded for PhD or equivalent doctoral studies. This HDR scheme forms part of the CRCs broader program of education and training which will deliver on CRC TiME's commitment to developing industry leaders, providing a skilled workforce and ensuring the community is informed. This is critical in achieving their vision for transforming mining economies and creating post mine opportunities. The scholarship provides a top-up stipend of $10,000 per annum for a maximum of 3.5 years to HDR candidates. In addition to the stipend, recipients receive an operating budget of up to $5,000 per annum for eligible costs associated with their research, and up to $15,000 across the full term to support eligible living expenses associated with a 3 to 6 month placement with a partner organisation. Scholarship holders are required to maintain satisfactory progress, participate in CRC TiME professional development activities and reviews, undertake placements with end users such as regional or community groups, government departments, or industry partners, and make research outcomes available to CRC TiME stakeholders. The placement component is critical to ensure research contributes to connections and collaboration between different stakeholder groups affected by mine closure.
