- and have completed a bachelor degree with First Class Honours or an equivalent level of academic attainment; and be commencing a PhD at Flinders University as a full-time student in the year for which the award is allocated.
The scholarship pays an indexed stipend of $26,140 pa tax-free (2008 full-time rate), and includes a Research Training Scheme place, which provides an exemption from tuition fees, and generous allowances and leave provisions.
