How to Apply: Flinders International Postgraduate Research Scholarships 2023/2024

Additional Information & Application Method

All applicants are required to read the application guidelines provided below before submitting an application. 

Incomplete applications will not be accepted.

To ensure your application is complete and competitive, please read and attend to the following:

Research Supervisor 

You must make contact with an academic staff member in your relevant academic area, and have an agreement from that person to supervise you if you are successful.  Email evidence of the supervisor’s agreement should be included with your application.  Applicants who do not have a supervisor at the time of application will not be considered for an AGRTPS/FIPRS.

Publications

You must include up to five of your publications, each accompanied with a completed coversheet; publications without coversheets will not be considered.  Publications are used to judge the quality of your previous research in the area that you intend to study at Flinders University. Applicants with more than five publications should consult with their Flinders University supervisor to select the best five. Explain briefly why these five were chosen. 

Do not provide more than five publications. Additional publications may be noted on your CV or in a separate list. Coversheets are not required for publications listed on the CV but not included among the top five.

Publications should not be more than 5 years old.

Typically, only publications in English should be included among the top five. Publications in other languages will be accepted only if the nature of the publication (for example, a report to a government agency) dictates that another language is most appropriate.

Please note, due to the highly competitive nature of the international scholarship round, applicants who have not published are unlikely to be competitive.

Applicants must provide a certified copy of all university-level academic transcripts, translated into English, please do not provide secondary school certificates or non-educational certificates or awards.
