Applications are open for the 2021 Griffith University Scholarship in Australia – Fully Funded. The scholarship is open to all nationalities and the deadline is 11th October 2021.

Each year, Griffith University makes available a number of tuition fee offset scholarships to international candidates of exceptional research potential to undertake a higher degree research (HDR) program. This scholarship scheme is known as the Griffith University International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (GUIPRS). The fee offset provided through the award of a GUIPRS will remove the liability of the HDR candidate to pay program tuition fees for the tenure of the award. This document sets out the conditions that apply to GUIPRS awardees.

Policies may be adopted that provide for a limited number of GUIPRS to be allocated to achieve specific strategic objectives. In such cases, there may be additional eligibility requirements or variations to the procedure for selection and award. Such variations will be documented in the relevant scholarships scheme guidelines and/or the minutes of the scholarship selection committee. In such cases, the GUIPRS conditions of award will be amended to reflect the variations applicable to the awardee.
