Top-up Postgraduate Scholarships are offered for periods of up to four years (full-time equivalent), and are available to doctoral students who gain or expect to gain a research training program scholarship (RTP) or equivalent university award. In some circumstances CSIRO fully funded scholarships may also be available and are offered for up to four years (full-time equivalent).
Postgraduate students at CSIRO are supported by both a university supervisor and a CSIRO supervisor; allowing students to maintain and develop their university connections while being exposed to research in a working environment.
Scholarships will be offered to high achieving postgraduate students who are enrolled at an Australian university.
Recipients of postgraduate scholarships are generally required to be Australian Citizens or hold Permanent Residency status. However, in fields in which there is a national skill shortage, scholarships may be awarded to overseas candidates, provided they meet Department of Immigration and Citizenship policy guidelines. International students must be able to provide evidence of admission to an Australian university.
