Vice-Chancellor's HDR Travel Grants

The Vice-Chancellor's HDR Travel Grants are offered annually by the Australian National University to support Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students undertaking international research activities. The grants aim to enrich the quality of research undertaken by HDR students by enabling them to study at overseas institutions, develop relationships within the international research community by presenting at conferences, and access international research facilities and equipment to conduct research activities. Maximum funding ranges from $1,500 to $5,000 AUD depending on the destination country cost group and duration of travel. Applications are accepted year-round on a rolling basis. Applicants must have completed at least one year of full-time candidature, be making good progress, and have not previously received this grant. The program supports both cross-institutional visits and conference attendance with paper/poster presentations.
