The WAARC Postgraduate Research Scholarship Program provides career and skills development for PhD students. Successful students will be awarded an annual top-up scholarship of about $25,000 for up to 3.5 years, to support their living expenses, which is on top of the Murdoch PhD stipend ($37,000 per year, tax exempt).

Our teams in the School of Agricultural Science have exciting projects in sustainable livestock production systems, sustainable farming systems and grains available for PhD scholarships, including WAARC scholarships.
If you are thinking about a career in agricultural research, development or extension, this is a great time to to talk to our teams about the options available.
Applications for the WAARC scholarships close 5 May 2025. Domestic students are preferred (Australian citizen or holding permanent residency status in Australia); international students may apply and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
