Scholarship rounds are competitive, and they estimate that applicants will require the equivalent of 80 to 85 on the VU grading scale to be considered for a PhD stipend scholarship.
The number of stipend scholarships awarded is determined by the university funds available in any given year. We receive a large number of high-quality applications and cannot provide all eligible applicants with a scholarship. Due to the volume of applications received, we are unable to provide individual feedback on applications or advise on what scores applicants received against each of the criteria.
Successful applicants will normally be notified of outcomes within two months of the application closing date.
