$35,656 per annum (2026 full time rate).
Up to $6000 to support research related costs associated with a disability.
Generous paid leave provisions, including recreation, sick, parental, cultural and partner leave.
Options to study part time.
Domestic candidates can apply to undertake the program predominately away from the University.
Flexibility to balance paid employment with full-time study.
To be eligible for a GUDSRS, an applicant must:
(1) Applicants must follow the process for submitting an online admission and scholarship application for a HDR program, and provide all documentation as outlined in the application. Applicants who do not hold a Bachelor Honours Class IIA or equivalent academic qualification will need to provide a statement outlining their equivalent skills, knowledge and preparedness to undertake the proposed program as outlined on the Equivalent qualifications for HDR program admission page. An applicant may wish to articulate circumstances that have impacted their educational outcomes, if applicable, within their statement to enable the University to also consider achievement relative to opportunity in the assessment of an equivalency case.
(2) In addition, applicants for a GUDSRS will need to provide evidence of their permanent disability either on application for the award, or on acceptance of an offer of award: A copy of registration/confirmation with Griffith University Student Disability and Accessibility support services will need to be provided. Applicants are encouraged to seek registration upon lodging an application as the registration process may take some time to complete.
Applicants may only apply a maximum of two times in a five year period for consideration in the scholarship ranking and selection process.
Applicants are ranked and selected on the basis of Griffith University’s selection criteria; addressing academic merit, research potential and the quality of the research training environment in which their research project will be undertaken, taking into account the University’s strategic priorities. The selection process and criteria are as set out in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the HDR Scholarship Procedure.
