Graduate Research Scholarships at University of Adelaide in Australia 2020

The University of Adelaide in Australia is inviting applications for the Adelaide Graduate Research Scholarships for the 2020/2021 academic session.

This cohort of scholarships was created specifically for outstanding recent international graduates whose recent graduate status means they are not competitive for scholarships in the general international higher degree by research scholarship rounds (RTP, ASI). In such scholarship rounds, they would compete against the best scholarship applicants worldwide who have generally had many more years to gain valuable research experience and demonstrate academic excellence.

For this reason, recent eligible University of Adelaide graduates is only ranked in this (AGRS) scholarship cohort where they have a significantly higher chance of winning a scholarship to further their studies.Article continues after this ad
