2011 UWS International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (UWSIPRS)

[MyInfoStride]

University of Western Sydney (UWS), Australia, offers University funded awards called UWS International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (UWSIPRS). These awards carry the same stipend and conditions as the government funded IPRS.

These awards are for full-time study towards higher degrees by research. IPRS are funded by the Department of Education, Employment & Workplace Relations (DEEWR). Competition for scholarships is intense; only applicants with extensive research training and experience will be offered an award.

Applicants do not need to apply separately for these awards. All applicants for the IPRS are automatically considered for the UWSIPRS if they are not offered an IPRS.

Value: 
The award provides for the full cost of tuition and overseas student health cover. The award may not provide for other fees charged by the University from time to time.
UWS also provides a living allowance of A$22,860 per annum, indexed annually and paid fortnightly.

Tenure:
The tenure of the award is three years for doctoral candidates and two years for Masters Honours (research masters) candidates.

Eligibility:
Students from any overseas country, except New Zealand, who are commencing a new research degree course and do not already hold an equivalent degree are eligible to apply. Applicants for coursework awards are not eligible to apply, even where there is a research component in the degree. Students who have already commenced their research degree may not be eligible.

Current AusAID students are ineligible.

How to Apply:
Step 1: Contact an academic advisor
Step 2: Submit an application form

Closing Date: 31 August 2011.
