Flinders International Postgraduate Research Scholarship In Australia

Description: 

The Flinders foreign Research award (FIPRS), which covers foreign tuition fees and includes a stipend, is an award designed expressly to assist international students. There are only a few FIPRS for overseas students available each year (5 scholarships in 2022), and each round is extremely competitive as a result. Candidates who exhibit exceptional academic achievement, academic merit, academic research training, and research indicators and performance are given the FIPRS. The scholarship can be used towards a Research Doctorate degree for up to three years and a Research Master’s degree for up to two years. A higher degree by research must be started for the first time in Australia for successful applicants to be obliged to study full-time academic research training and research indicators and performance.
