The Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) International Stipend Scholarship provides a living allowance and tuition fees for high-quality research higher degree students. They are awarded on academic merit and research experience and/or potential.
To be eligible for a International RTP Stipend Scholarship:
Must be a International student accepted into an accredited HDR course of study at an Australian HEP.
Must not be receiving another source of income that is greater than 75 per cent of that student's RTP Stipend rate from another source that is to support that student's general living costs while undertaking their course of study. Income unrelated to the student's course of study or income received for the student's course of study but not for the purposes of supporting general living costs is not to be considered.
Must not be receiving an equivalent award or scholarship from the Commonwealth designed to offset HDR tuition fees.
