Scholarship General Information 

Applications are invited for AGRTP-International scholarships. The scholarships are awarded to postgraduate researchers from overseas with exceptional promise based on academic merit and research potential.

AGRTP-International scholarships are normally tenable for three years for Research Doctorate studies, and two years for Research Masters studies subject to satisfactory progress

An extension of up to six months may be granted for Research Doctorate candidates, where CSU is satisfied the extension is based on grounds that are beyond the control of the candidate and relate to their research studies, rather than of a personal nature.

Eligibility Criteria 

AGRTP-International scholarships are generally for full-time study towards higher degrees by research. These scholarships are highly competitive, and only applicants who meet the following eligibility criteria will be considered:

1. Commencing a CSU, HDR program, or currently enrolled

2. Enrolling as a full-time student, or in exceptional circumstances, granted CSU approval for a part-time scholarship in line with the CSU policy on AGRTP Scholarships.

AGRTP-International scholarships will not be available to those who:

1. Are enrolled concurrently in any other program, unless it is essential to the success of the HDR, or exceptional circumstances exist and are approved.

2. Are receiving another Common wealth-funded postgraduate research scholarship

For applicants whose enrolment in a Higher Degree by Research is dependent on receipt of a scholarship, we recommend that you do not submit a separate application for admission until the outcome of the scholarship round is announced.

Award Amount  

Stipend Full-Time: $35,000 per annum, payable in fortnightly installments to a nominated Australian bank account.

Tuition Fees: AGRTP-International scholarship candidates are exempt from fees for a period equivalent to three years (six sessions) for PhD/Research Doctorate OR two years (four sessions) for a Research Master at full-time study.

Operating Funds: Scholarship recipients are allocated an allowance per session of enrolment to assist with the reimbursement of costs associated with the candidate's research.

Relocation Allowance: Scholarship recipients may be eligible to receive a relocation allowance for the cost of relocating themselves, their spouse, and dependants to a CSU campus, to a maximum of AUD 5,000.

Health insurance: All International students studying in Australia are required to purchase and maintain Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). An AGRTP-International covers the cost of a standard OSHC policy for the candidate and their dependents for three (3) years (full-time equivalent).

Selection Process

Academic merit as an indicator of capacity makes up around 70% of the assessment. This assessment considers the nature and level of the applicant's highest, relevant qualification as well as the grade point average (GPA) achieved in that program.

2. Research and/or Professional Experience

Evidence of an applicant's research achievements and relevant professional experience contributes up to around 15% of the assessment. This includes such aspects as peer-reviewed research outputs, high-esteem academic awards, and prizes, relevant research or professional experience.

3. Research Alignment and Supervisor Capacity at CSU

Alignment with strategic research priorities and strengths contributes up to around 15% of the assessment. This includes the strength of alignment with the CSU Research Narrative; the supervisory capacity and the strength of the research environment within the field of research; and the expected impact and end-user engagement of the proposed research.
