Research Scholarships

Postgraduate research scholarships are available for full-time research. Details about the scholarship application process are available from the Monash University Institute of Graduate Research. Before you apply, it is important that you consult with the Faculty as you are required to submit: the names of members of the Faculty of Technology staff who you have consulted; the name of your supervisor/proposed supervisor, and your research title and proposal.

Eligibility

Prospective candidates will be considered for scholarships if they hold a first class honours (H1) qualification or the equivalent. For information on what is required in a scholarship application and equivalent qualifications, please refer to Monash Research Graduate School resources:

Developing your proposal

• Review the Faculty’s research flagships, and the list of potential supervisors in the Faculty, and decide on a research area and topic.
• Prepare a research proposal. Note that the faculty may review proposals for plagiarism during the assessment process.
• Identify potential supervisors in the Faculty (identifying a supervisor is not a Faculty requirement when applying for a Monash Research Scholarship).
• Prepare supporting documentation (for example, certified copies of academic transcripts and résumé).
• If you would like to apply for a research scholarship, please visit the Monash University Institute of Graduate Research. 

Applying for a scholarship

Applicants are advised to refer to the step-by-step guide to completing the application form and consult the resources outlined above before completing a scholarship application. All applications which are deemed eligible, will be ranked by the Faculty Research Scholarships Committee according to the scholarships ranking criteria of: Qualifying degree, Research potential as presented by research publications or other awards; and if the project aligns with the Faculty's research strengths. The Scholarship Committee is chaired by the Associate Dean Research Training in the Faculty of IT. The Faculty of IT Order of Merit list is then submitted to the University for consideration.
