Scholarships & fees

UQ offers financial support to research higher degree (RHD) students through a wide range of scholarships. We currently support over 1600 RHD students from an annual scholarships budget of more than $24 million in Australian Government and University funding.

Financial assistance is available to both domestic and international students and can include:

  • living allowances
  • tuition fees and overseas health cover (OSHC)
  • international travel awards.

The UQ Graduate School coordinates a competitive, merit-based process for awarding scholarships in four rounds each year.

What are Research Quarters?

From 1 January 2012, the UQ academic year will be divided into Research Quarters for research higher degree (RHD) students. Research Quarters are being introduced to:
  • reduce the pressure on international RHD students to submit their thesis prior to a semester census date to avoid an additional semester of fees, thereby reducing the risk of a thesis being submitted prematurely;
  • allow international RHD students to gain maximum advantage from the fees paid for their tuition; and
  • ensure that UQ’s enrolment and fees schemes adequately match RHD student enrolment and work patterns.

Am I eligible to apply for a scholarship?

To be considered for scholarships you must have received an unconditional offer of admission to the PhD or MPhil program, and be nominated by your School or Institute.

How are the scholarships awarded?

Scholarships can be awarded either individually, or as a combined scholarship package, depending on your financial needs and eligibility requirements. 

What other scholarships are available?     

Our New Scholarships page lists individual and externally funded scholarships, financial assistance and travel awards. Other scholarship schemes are advertised on the Joint Academic Scholarships On-Line Network (JASON) database.
