Scholarships at University of Western Sydney

International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (IPRS) are a tuition fee scholarship for full-time study towards a higher degree by research.  These prestigious scholarships are funded by the Australian Government. UWS supports IPRS awardees with a living allowance and overseas student health cover.

Competition for scholarships is intense; only applicants with an excellent academic record and capacity to undertake research training in one of the University’s areas of research strength will be offered an award.

Value




The IPRS award provides for the full cost of tuition and overseas student health cover. The award may not provide for other fees charged by the University from time to time.

UWS also provides a living allowance - A$24,653 per annum in 2013 - indexed annually and paid fortnightly.


Tenure


The tenure of both the award and the living allowance is three years for doctoral candidates and two years for Masters Honours (research masters) candidates.

Eligibility




Students from any overseas country, except New Zealand, who are commencing a new research degree course and do not already hold an equivalent degree are eligible to apply. Applicants for coursework awards are not eligible to apply, even where there is a research component in the degree. Students who have already commenced their research degree may not be eligible.

Current AusAID students are ineligible.


Closing Date


Applications close on Friday 16 August 2013.

International Engagement Awards, Scholarships UK

Funding for public engagement with Wellcome Trust research in low- and middle-income countries.

The International Engagement Awards have been relaunched after the success of the previous scheme. The scheme has been refocused to award projects that are linked to Wellcome Trust-funded research.

International Engagement Awards are for projects that support Wellcome Trust-funded researchers in low- and middle-income countries to:

  • engage with the public and policy makers

  • strengthen capacity to conduct public engagement with biomedical science and health research

  • stimulate dialogue about research and its impact on the public in a range of community and public contexts

  • promote collaboration on engagement projects between researchers and community or public organisations.


Projects could engage:

  • communities and members of the public (particularly those affected by or involved in biomedical and health research)

  • science communicators, health and science journalists

  • healthcare professionals, educators, field workers, community workers

  • policy and decision makers.


To be eligible, you must be either:

  • directly funded by the Wellcome Trust (as a researcher, research group or institution); or

  • working with a researcher, research group, institution or consortium directly funded by the Wellcome Trust.


We encourage informal discussions about potential project ideas before you submit an application, although we cannot review draft applications.

To apply for a grant of up to £30 000 for up to three years, complete a preliminary application form and submit it to the Trust by the date indicated under the ‘Deadlines’ tab.

We will assess preliminary applications for eligibility, their link to Trust-funded research and the quality of the proposed engagement project. If your preliminary application is successful, we will invite you to make a full application.

Please note that applications that do not have an appropriate link to Trust-funded research will not be accepted. Such links must be agreed with the Trust-funded grantholder in advance of submission.

Final decisions will be made approximately five months after the preliminary application deadline.

Larger grants of more than £30 000 can be applied for by invitation only to support exceptional projects.
