Scholarships and fees

Scholarships

A range of HDR scholarships are awarded on academic merit and research potential for full-time study towards Masters by Research, PhD or Professional Doctorate degrees. Competition for scholarships is strong and in recent years successful applicants have held first class Honours degrees or equivalent qualifications.

Successful applicants who make satisfactory progress receive a tax-free living allowance for up to three years full-time study for a Doctorate by Research, or up to two years for Masters by Research. Scholarship holders are also entitled to paid recreation and sick leave and, in some cases, paid parenting leave. Students relocating from interstate or overseas may also be eligible to claim an allowance for travel expenses and relocation costs to Adelaide.
