About this scholarship

The Griffith University Postgraduate Research Scholarship (GUPRS) is a higher degree research scholarship offered by Griffith University in Australia to support outstanding postgraduate researchers. It is commonly attached to specific research projects and academic schools across the university, and is used to help recruit strong domestic and international candidates into research degrees.
Based on recent postings, this scholarship typically supports PhD study and provides a living stipend for up to three years of full-time enrolment. In examples from Griffith University, the stipend has been listed at indexed annual rates such as AUD 35,656 or AUD 33,480, depending on the round or year. For international applicants, Griffith may also provide a separate international postgraduate research scholarship that covers tuition fees for the same period, subject to the relevant conditions of award.
The scholarship is generally awarded on the basis of academic merit and research background. Applicants are usually expected to have completed, or be about to complete, a bachelor degree with honours equivalent to first class honours, or a master degree with a significant research component, or an equivalent qualification.
