Be eligible to enrol in a full-time Masters by Research or Doctoral degree at the University of Tasmania in 2025; and,

Not be receiving equivalent income to support their general living costs from another source related to their proposed research degree (equivalent being defined as greater than 75% of the base stipend rate).

The scholarship holder is expected to diligently pursue the degree for which they are enrolled. Continued payment of the scholarship is therefore subject to the scholarship holder making satisfactory academic progress and terminates on the expiry of the scholarship or on submission of the thesis for examination, whichever is the sooner.

Standard Duration: PhD: 3.5 years FTE. It is important to be aware that the duration of the scholarship is less than the maximum length of candidature, which is 4 years.

Masters: 2 years FTE.
