Indigenous Australian Reconciliation PhD Scholarship

The Indigenous Australian Reconciliation PhD Scholarship is offered annually by the Australian National University (ANU) to support Indigenous Australian students pursuing doctoral research. This scholarship provides financial support for Indigenous Australians identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander to undertake a PhD or Professional Doctorate by Research at ANU. The scholarship covers living expenses through a stipend as well as additional benefits including travel support, removal expenses, thesis reimbursement, and paid medical and parental leave. The program is open to research in any field of study and aims to increase Indigenous Australian participation in doctoral research. Recipients must hold a Bachelor's degree with at least upper second-class honours or a research Master's degree from a recognised university. The scholarship is awarded for 3.5 years with the possibility of a 6-month extension, and continuation is based on academic performance.
