CSIRO Postgraduate Scholarship Program

CSIRO offers full and top-up Postgraduate Scholarships for periods of up to three years. Opportunities will be offered to high achieving students who have received an offer to commence a PhD program at an Australian university.

Top-up scholarships are available to those students who gain or expect to gain a Research Training Program scholarship (RTP) or equivalent university award (at UQ, the RTP is awarded under the UQGSS). In some circumstances full scholarships may also be available.

Recipients of Postgraduate Scholarships are generally required to be Australian Citizens or hold Permanent Residency status. However, in fields in which there is a national skill shortage, scholarships may be awarded to overseas candidates, provided they meet Department of Immigration and Citizenship policy guidelines. International students must be able to provide evidence of admission to an Australian university.
