Scholarship benefits
They provide funding allocated to students to assist with their living costs while undertaking a research higher degree.
The RTP Stipend Scholarship provides a living allowance stipend which is paid fortnightly to the recipient through the University's payroll system.
Domestic students who are awarded an RTP Stipend Scholarship will also be offered an RTP Fees Offset Scholarship*, which fully extinguishes the candidate's tuition liability for the period of the Offset Scholarship.
Scholarship Value: $28,597 per annum
In accordance with the Commonwealth Scholarship Guidelines (Research) 2017, to be eligible for a RTP Scholarship a candidate must be a domestic candidate or an overseas candidate enrolled in an accredited RHD course of study at CQUniversity.
Please note that travel restrictions currently remain in place in Australia due to COVID19. It is a condition of award that CQUniversity research scholarship recipients are residing in Australia to be able to receive payments. As such, until further notice, RTP Scholarship applications will only be accepted from individuals who are already living in Australia at time of application. Such individuals may have domestic or international status.
To be eligible for an RTP Stipend a candidate must not be receiving income from another source to support the candidate’s general living costs while undertaking their course of study if that income is greater than 75 per cent of the candidate’s RTP Stipend rate. Income unrelated to the candidate’s course of study or income received for the candidate’s course of study but not for the purposes of supporting general living costs is not taken into account.
To be eligible for a RTP Fees Offset a candidate must not be receiving an equivalent award of scholarship from the Commonwealth designed to offset RHD tuition fees.
