Vice Chancellor and President's Scholarship
 |
Vice Chancellor and President Peter Høj |
For recipients of the Vice Chancellor and President's Scholarship, the task of doing a PhD has expanded possibilities. This scholarship is awarded each year (since 2009) to the top seven PhD domestic scholarship recipients at UniSA.
Recipients are encouraged to seek opportunities to gain international experience as part of their research training. For example, a PhD candidate might use the funding to present at an international conference, collect data at an overseas institution and/or collaborate with international experts. They could also purchase specialised equipment for their research.
As UniSA's top PhD domestic candidates, recipients also have an ambassadorial role to play in advocating for the significance and innovation of their research findings.
Selection
Recipients of the Vice Chancellor and President's Scholarship are selected from the list of domestic PhD scholarship recipients from the year's main scholarship rounds. Selection is made by the Graduate Research Centre and Dean of Graduate Studies, with scholarships awarded to the top seven PhD domestic scholarship recipients at UniSA.
Value
The award provides $10,000 towards supporting PhD candidates with their research. The scholarship is paid upon the acceptance of the candidate's research proposal submitted within the first 6 months (full-time equivalent or FTE) of candidature.
