Scholarships

ANU and CBE offer a range of scholarships to domestic and international higher degree by research (HDR) candidates, some of which are listed below.

If you’re interested in applying for a scholarship, you should express your interest when applying for entry to the relevant program. To be considered for a scholarship, we must receive your complete application, including the referee reports, before 31 August (for international applicants), or before 31 October (for domestic applicants). Request for referee reports are triggered and sent to your nominated referees at the time of submission of program application. It is thus important that you submit your application in advance (2-3 weeks) to allow time for your referees to provide their reports prior to the scholarship deadline.

Fees

You won’t pay tuition fees if you’re a domestic candidate (i.e. an Australian or New Zealand citizen, Australian permanent resident, or holder of an Australian permanent humanitarian visa) enrolling in an HDR program for the first time. These research training costs are met by the Australian Government under the Research Training Program.

If you’re an international candidate, you’ll be required to pay tuition fees for the duration of your HDR program.
