Who can apply?
International applicants must be commencing or enrolled in a higher degree by research and meet admission requirements. Funding is competitive, with preference criteria published by the university.
Funding and benefits
The published 2027 RTP stipend is AUD 44,293 per year. RTP stipend recipients automatically receive the related fee-offset scholarship, including tuition and OSHC under the stated terms. Read the duration and allowance conditions.
How to apply and important dates
New applicants must complete both admission documentation and the scholarship application form by the relevant deadline. Current students must submit the scholarship form as instructed.
Documents and preparation
Prepare the research-admission file and evidence requested by the scholarship form. Use Sydney’s research-experience template where applicable.
Before you submit
Make a personal checklist from the official instructions. Check that your name matches your identity documents, that uploaded files are readable and that your referees have enough time. Save a copy of your submission and its confirmation. If the provider changes its announcement, follow its current instructions rather than an older listing.
Frequently asked question
Does admission alone complete the scholarship process?
No. Sydney currently requires a separate scholarship application form as well as the admission file.
