RSAA Supplementary Scholarships

The RSAA Supplementary Scholarships are offered by the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Australian National University. This supplementary scholarship is extended to all RSAA PhD students, excluding those receiving an ARC Laureate Scholarship. The scholarship provides additional financial support to students pursuing doctoral research in astronomy and astrophysics. The scholarship provides $5,000 AUD per annum, paid fortnightly over a period of 3 years. A 6-month extension is available for eligible students. Recipients must maintain their base stipend scholarships to continue receiving this supplementary funding. There is no separate application process for this scholarship. Students may request to be considered for this scholarship on their application for admission, and applications may be considered at any time of the year. ANU PhD, URS and RTP stipend scholarship recipients are automatically considered for this supplementary award. This scholarship is available to both domestic and international students at the postgraduate research level, and is awarded based on academic merit. It serves as an additional financial benefit for PhD students conducting research in the field of astronomy and astrophysics at one of Australia's leading research institutions.
