Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarships, funded by the Australian Government, support both domestic and international students undertaking Research Doctorate and Research Masters degrees at Australian universities.

As part of this program, an RTP Stipend (living allowance) is available to help support students with living costs whilst studying at a Monash Australia campus.

You must be one of the following:

An Australian citizen

A New Zealand citizen

Meet Monash’s competitive scholarship selection process requirements; and

Monash scholarships are highly competitive and are awarded based on academic excellence, research outputs, and prior research experience.

Graduate research scholarship applications are submitted at the same time as your course application, unless you are already enrolled.  Whether you are a new applicant or a current student, the myApp Portal is used for both course admission and scholarship applications.  You do not need to select specific scholarships; eligible applicants are automatically considered for all available graduate research scholarships.
