Indigenous Australian Graduate Scholarship

The Indigenous Australian Graduate Scholarship is offered by the Australian National University (ANU) to support Indigenous Australians undertaking graduate study. Each year, ANU normally offers one scholarship to an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander student. The scholarship supports both research and coursework programs at the graduate level, including PhD, Master by Research, Master by Coursework, and Graduate Diploma programs. The scholarship provides a substantial stipend paid fortnightly over the duration of study, with a maximum duration of 3.5 years for PhD candidates. Additional benefits include travel support to Canberra from within Australia, reimbursement of some removal expenses, and a thesis reimbursement allowance. No separate application is required as eligible applicants who identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander are automatically considered during their admission application process.
