Description

International students pursuing a Higher Degree by Research at Flinders University are the target audience for the Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarships (AGRTPS) (International). The AGRTPS offers Overseas Health Care coverage, a living allowance, and an offset for international tuition fees.

Benefits

The AGRTPS pays a stipend at the regular rate of $28,854 per year (2022 full-time rate), which has been established by the Australian Government. The Research Training Program (RTP), which offers a tuition offset for up to 4 years, is also included in the AGRTPS.

A student enrolled in the AGRTPS who relocates to Adelaide from abroad is qualified for an establishment allowance (after arriving at Flinders) of up to $1,485 to help with moving expenses and flights, provided receipts are shown.

Eligibility

Awards are often only given to people who meet the following criteria: They must be citizens of a foreign country other than New Zealand, and they cannot be Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents, or citizens of New Zealand.
In the year for which the award is to be granted, intend to begin full-time study for a higher degree through research for the first time in Australia.
Students who started their higher degree by research in the previous year but were unable to apply for an AGRTPS in that year because of the timing of their admissions application and subsequent enrollment, or
Students who started their higher degree by research but ended their enrolment within six months of starting it, may be taken into consideration.
