Scholarships
The University of New South Wales offers a variety of scholarships for undergraduate, postgraduate, local and international students. Scholarships are competitive and awarded on the basis of academic merit.
In Australia, scholarships to cover living expenses and tuition must be sought independently of the application to the Graduate Research School. The main funding source is the government RTP scheme. These scholarships are competitive and require high marks in the last few years of tertiary education, and/or previous research experience. There are other funding opportunities including scholarships available directly through CCRC staff members, through the ARC Centre of Excellence in Climate Extremes, or through external funding bodies. If you have any further questions, please contact the Postgraduate Research Coordinator.
