The William T. Southcott Scholarship has been established as a result of a bequest from Mr William T. Southcott. The scholarship will be offered to outstanding students to undertake a PhD in the field of practical engineering at the University of South Australia.
The scholarship is a prestigious award, and the recipient should have an outstanding academic record as well as leadership potential and personal attributes suitable for the award.
Must be undertaken on a full-time basis within Australia. Part-time study will only be approved in exceptional circumstances.
The annual scholarship of $36‚000 per annum (2025 rate) tax-free will be awarded to a student for a maximum of 3 years. It is expected that recipients will complete their PhD program in three years; however, the scholarship may be extended beyond the tenure of three years, up to a maximum of 3.5 years, should the recipient experience delays, which are beyond their control. Extensions are not automatically granted – the recipient may apply to the University for an extension.
An additional one off amount of $4,000 will be made available to use towards research costs such as conferences, overseas study, and minor expenses. This amount will be allocated to a personal development fund.
The scholarship is open to Australian citizens, permanent residents of Australia or international students.

The University of South Australia reserves the right not to award the scholarship in the absence of a suitable applicant.
