Research degrees
Allied
health sciencesThe Sir Robert Menzies Memorial Foundation offers up to three scholarships each year for full-time postgraduate research in one of the allied health sciences. The award is for up to two years at an Australian tertiary institution with appropriate facilities for postgraduate research.
The Foundation has a preference for applications from graduates in the disciplines of clinical psychology, nutrition, nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and speech pathology but applications from graduates of other allied health disciplines pursuing a PhD in that field will also be considered.
The scholarship will be open to persons who are working as full-time students in a research PhD program only which is likely to be completed during the two year tenure of the scholarship. The applicant will therefore generally have completed the first stage of the PhD project. The successful applicant will be expected to take up the scholarship during the calendar year.
