How to apply

The application information below summarizes the captured scholarship source. Review the provider page before submitting.

  1. Before lodging an application, applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the relevant HDR Convener or a prospective supervisor to discuss the proposed research topic and related matters. Optional
  2. Prospective candidates: complete and submit an admission application for an ANU Higher Degree Research (HDR) program. The source directs international candidates to apply by 31 August and domestic candidates by 31 October for Round 1; see the deadline events. Required
  3. Current ANU candidates who recently commenced (typically enrolled for less than one year full-time equivalent): submit the current-student HDR scholarship consideration form instead of using the prospective-candidate admission route. Required
  4. During the HDR admission application, indicate interest in scholarship consideration. The page says to select the scholarship of interest, including RTP, and also identifies “Australia: ANU - Other Scholarship” as the option for consideration for all eligible scholarships. Required
  5. Ensure the application is complete by the scholarship deadline, including all supporting documentation and referee reports. Referee requests are triggered and sent to nominated referees when the program application is submitted; reports must arrive before the scholarship deadline. ANU strongly recommends submitting 2–3 weeks before the deadline to allow time for reports. Required
Deadline
15 April 2027
Deadline notes
The page also gives recurring annual round cutoffs without specifying calendar years: Round 1 has separate 31 August (international) and 31 October (domestic) deadlines and is for commencements in the following year; Round 2 has a 15 April deadline and take-up is typically by the end of August in the same year. The source also says the application period is open all year round.
Application cycle
2027 application cycle
Notes
Prospective candidates are considered through their HDR admission application; current candidates who have typically completed less than one year full-time equivalent must submit the separate current-student scholarship consideration form. Selection is competitive. A six-month extension may be available, subject to conditions.
