Domestic applicants who are offered a place in a supported HDR program at Griffith University will be provided with an Australian Government RTP Domestic Fee Offset. This tuition fee offset will be supplemented by support from Griffith University in order to remove the liability of the HDR candidate to pay tuition fees during the tenure of the RTP Domestic Fee Offset place. The offer letter will set out the estimated annual value of the Commonwealth Government’s support provided towards the offset of the candidate’s tuition fee liability.
