Applications for research scholarships as part of the Continuous Scholarship Round at Griffith University are firstly processed within the Griffith Graduate Research School. It is at this point that applications are initially reviewed for eligibility for entry into Griffith research programs.
Following this initial review, applications are then forwarded to the appropriate schools, departments or research centres for academic staff to assess applications for both entry into Griffith research programs, and for consideration for a scholarship. All applications are then assessed by the Dean (Research) of the relevant Group and the Dean, Griffith Graduate Research School, to arrive at an outcome against the selection criteria.
Applications that are recognised as meeting the selection criteria requirements for scholarship consideration are then assessed and ranked in an order of merit, in the proposed host school, department, research centre, and academic group. The order of merit is based on the Higher Degree by Research Scholarship Procedure and takes into consideration:
Academic merit, with emphasis on the results attained in the qualification with the substantial research component but also taking into account the grades of any other eligible qualification, as applicable.
The international standing of the institution at which the qualification with the substantial research component was completed. Research background, including:
The University's Higher Degree by Research Scholarship Ranking Committee meets to establish a University-wide Order of Merit List. Through this process, scholarships are awarded to the highest ranking applicants in this University-wide Order of Merit.
While you can apply for scholarships at any time, it’s recommended that you apply at least four months before your preferred intake to allow sufficient time for your application to be assessed, your offer letter issued and accepted.
New applicants must follow the process for submitting an online application for a research program, which also includes a section for scholarship application.
Current research candidates are required to follow a different process for submitting a scholarship application.
Applicants may only apply a maximum of two times in a five year period for consideration in the scholarship ranking and selection process.
