Bond University Postgraduate Research Scholarship 2027

Bond University values its higher degree research student cohort and provides a substantial level of direct financial support to many students. Bond University allocates funds to support the financial costs of fee offset (waiver) and living stipends.

A limited number of scholarships are available to domestic and overseas doctoral students who wish to continue their education through a Higher Degree Research (HDR) PhD program. 

The Bond University Postgraduate Research Scholarship (BUPRS) is awarded through a competitive application process. 

The Bond University HDR Scholarships Committee meets biannually to award fee waivers and living stipends based on a merit based selection process. 

Students cannot apply if they are receiving an equivalent award or scholarship from the Commonwealth designed to offset HDR fees.
