To be eligible for an RTP Stipend a candidate must not be receiving income from another source related to their Higher Degree by Research, to support the candidate’s general living costs while undertaking their research degree, if that income is greater than 75% of the candidate’s RTP Stipend rate.

To be eligible for an RTP Fees Offset a candidate must not be receiving an equivalent award or scholarship from the Commonwealth Government designed to offset tuition fees for their Higher Degree by Research.

In 2025 all domestic applicants will be offered an RTP Fees Offset provided they are not receiving an equivalent award or scholarship from the Commonwealth designed to offset higher Degree by Research tuition fees.

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.
