Scholarship details
Scholarships from the Australian Government Research Training Program (AGRTPS) (International) are available to help international students at Flinders University pursue a Master’s or Doctoral degree through research. This program includes an international education fee reduction, a living stipend, and coverage for medical care outside the United States. Please be aware that the AGRTPS is a Commonwealth Sponsored Scholarship for the purposes of obtaining a visa. The AGRTPS scholarship round is extremely tough, with only a few spots available each year. Individuals that are nominated for the AGRTPS have demonstrated a particularly high level of ability for conducting their own research. The criteria used to evaluate AGRTPS candidates include their scholastic achievements, their background in academic research, and their research indicators and results. It is possible to receive a scholarship for up to three years for a PhD and up to two years for an MS. Full-time study is necessary, as well as the beginning of a research-based degree in Australia for the first time.
About the Scholarship:
Flinders University began in 1960, when the University of Adelaide was awarded 150 hectares of property in Bedford Park with the purpose of establishing a second campus. Planning began in 1961, and construction began in 1962. After winning the State election in 1965, the Australian Labor Party (ALP) chose to establish an independent university at the Bedford Park site. On 1 July 1966, the University Act established Flinders University, which was named after Matthew Flinders, a prominent British cartographer and explorer. On 7 March 1966, classes began with only 400 pupils and 90 faculty members. Sir Mark Mitchell was appointed as the university’s first chancellor, while Peter Karmel was appointed as the university’s first vice-chancellor.
