Sir Roland Wilson Foundation PhD Scholarship

The Sir Roland Wilson (SRW) Foundation PhD scholarship provides high performing Australian Public Service (APS) employees a 3-year, full pay scholarship at ANU, to undertake research on topics of national significance. Scholars enter into a Deed of Agreement with their APS agency stipulating the conditions under which the scholarship will proceed, and are paid their normal salary by their agency. Taxation, superannuation and other employment conditions continue to apply. The scholarship is available for all PhD programs at ANU that address a research topic of national significance and strategic importance or immediate relevance to specific agencies, or the APS more broadly. Additionally, scholars have access to an international travel stipend of up to $40,000 as well as a professional development fund of up to $5,000 over the course of the scholarship.
