Griffith University Postgraduate Research Scholarship (GUPRS) 2023

Introduction:

Each year, Griffith University makes available a number of stipend scholarships for candidates of exceptional research potential to undertake a Higher Degree Research (HDR) program. These awards are known as the Griffith University Postgraduate Research Scholarship (GUPRS).

Eligibility for the Griffith University Postgraduate Research Scholarship (GUPRS):

• Candidates must not be receiving income from another source to support the candidate’s general living costs that provide a benefit greater than 75% of the GUPRS stipend rate to undertake the proposed program. Income unrelated to the candidate’s HDR program, or income received for the candidate’s HDR program but not for the purposes of supporting general living costs, is not to be taken into account.

Selection:

• Awardees are ranked and selected on the basis of academic merit, research potential and the quality of the research training environment in which their research project will be undertaken, taking into account the University’s strategic priorities. The selection process and criteria are as set out in Sections 5 and 6 of the Higher Degree Research Scholarship Policy.
• Applicants offered a GUPRS may have their scholarship changed to a Research Training Program (RTP) Stipend if one becomes available and if they meet the criteria to be awarded an RTP Stipend.
