Deakin PhD Scholarship

The Deakin PhD Scholarship is funded by the John Anthony Deakin Endowment and provides financial support for doctoral students at the Australian National University. The scholarship offers a stipend paid fortnightly in arrears for up to 3.5 years with the potential for a further up to 6 month extension for eligible candidates. The scholarship is available to both domestic and international students enrolled or enrolling in a Doctor of Philosophy program at ANU. Recipients must have been awarded a Bachelor degree with first class honours, or a Master degree with a research component, or equivalent from a recognised university. The scholarship includes additional benefits such as OSHC single policy cover, relocation allowance, thesis allowance, and paid medical and parental leave. Applicants will also be recommended for a HDR Fee Remission Merit Scholarship for the standard program duration. There is no separate application process as students are automatically considered based on their application for admission and meeting the eligibility criteria.
