University Scholarships
The University holds a scholarship round in December each year, through which most scholarships are awarded. Applications must be submitted by 31 October. Application kits may be obtained from academic units (Schools and Centres) from mid-July each year. By this stage, applicants should have discussed their proposed research project with the supervisor in the relevant academic unit. Ideally, before a scholarship application is submitted, applicants will have identified a potential supervisor for their project and developed a draft research proposal.
