PhD Industry Ready Internship Scholarship at Flinders University Flinders University in Australia

The PhD Industry Ready Internship Scholarship at Flinders University provides funding support for currently enrolled PhD students who secure an eligible industry internship. This scholarship is designed to foster research and development activities in partnership with industry, enhancing the practical and professional experience of doctoral candidates. To qualify, students must be enrolled in a PhD at Flinders University and have a written agreement for an eligible internship within the first 18 months of their candidature (or pro rata for part-time students). The internship must be with an eligible research end-user, involve research and development activities related to the student's area of research, and last a minimum of three calendar months (at least 60 full-time equivalent days). The scholarship is open to both domestic and international students, provided international students can complete the internship and PhD within their visa duration. International students holding an Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship (International) or Flinders International Postgraduate Research Scholarship may, under certain conditions, apply for an extension to their scholarship duration to accommodate the internship. The total duration of funding, including any other scholarships, cannot exceed four years full-time equivalent. Students who have previously received internship funding, or who are already paid or employed by the research end-user, are not eligible. Specific exclusions may apply to internships with affiliate organisations of Flinders University, and applicants are advised to consult the Office of Graduate Research for clarification. The application process is conducted online via the Flinders University scholarship portal, and applicants should ensure all eligibility criteria are met before applying.
