Research Scholarships

40 Research Scholarships confirmed for 2009

La Trobe University Fee Remission Research Scholarship (LTUFRRS) In 2008 La Trobe University was pleased to announce the introduction of 40 New Research Scholarships, and we are now delighted to confirm the University’s continued commitment to this important initiative into 2009.

LTUFRRS awards are open to international students who are seeking to undertake a higher degree by research at a Master's or PhD level, and will be available for commencing research candidates.

The scholarships are awarded on the basis of academic merit and are designed to cover tuition fees for a period of two years for a Master's by Research degree and three years for a Doctoral (PhD) degree (the same as the existing Endeavour International Postgraduate Research Scholarships EIPRS).

The closing date for these scholarships is 30 September for students who wish to begin their studies the following year.

Scholarship recipients must be ready to commence no later than 30 June in the year following application. Please note also that scholarship offers will be made conditional on evidence of English language proficiency.

International students may apply for this scholarship when they apply for admission to La Trobe University. A separate application form is not required, although applicants should note that they may be required to submit further documentation on request (e.g. thesis chapter/s in English translation).
