About this scholarship
University of Melbourne Graduate Research Scholarships: about 600 awards covering a full tuition fee offset, a living allowance, single OSHC cover and relocation support for master's by research and PhD students.
Minimum requirements
Applicants for a graduate research degree at the University of Melbourne. New applicants are automatically considered with the course application; currently enrolled or deferred students must submit the scholarship form.
Application checklist
- New applicants are automatically considered with the course application (Round 2 deadline 31 January 2027; Round 3 deadline 15 May 2027)
- Currently enrolled or deferred students must submit the scholarship form (Round 1 deadline 31 October 2026 — the run date itself)
- check official page for the course-specific requirements
Application tips
- Use Round 2 (31 January 2027) if the Round 1 date (31 October 2026) has passed: Round 3 follows on 15 May 2027.
- New applicants need no separate scholarship form: automatic consideration applies with the course application, unlike currently enrolled or deferred students.
- Do not budget the AUD 39,500 living allowance as the confirmed 2027 rate: it is the 2026 rate, and the 2027 rate is not yet published.
Always verify deadline, amount and eligibility on the official page before applying. Values marked ESTIMATE are based on a previous cycle and are not confirmed for the current round.
