Australian National University Research Scholarships 2027-2028

The Australian National University (ANU) is offering research scholarships for domestic and international students to pursue postgraduate research in Australia. These scholarships are part of the Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) and include the RTP Stipend Scholarship, the RTP International Fee Offset Scholarship, and other university research awards. The ANU RTP Stipend Scholarship provides a stipend of A$39,069 per year, paid fortnightly, for up to 3.5 years, with possible extensions in qualifying circumstances. Australia is a great place to live and study, with a high standard of living and a diverse culture. The cost of living in Australia can be high, but the scholarship stipend is designed to help cover living expenses. International students can expect to pay around A$20-30 per meal, A$100-200 per week for accommodation, and A$50-100 per week for other expenses. The climate in Australia varies from tropical in the north to temperate in the south, and Canberra, where ANU is located, has a mild climate with cold winters and warm summers. International students in Australia have the right to work up to 20 hours per week during semester and full-time during semester breaks. The ANU campus has a vibrant culture, with a strong focus on research and academic excellence. The university has a diverse student body, with students from over 100 countries, and offers a range of support services, including academic support, mental health services, and social activities. The RTP scholarship is a great opportunity for international students to experience life in Australia while pursuing their research goals. The scholarship is not restricted to one academic discipline, and eligible HDR applicants across the university's research areas can be considered.
