New Postgraduate Students

Postgraduate research scholarships – for students wishing to commence studies in the School of Biological Sciences

Step 1.

It is important prior to applying for a scholarship for you to have contacted potential supervisor/s and discussed possible research projects.  Before proceeding with your on-line application it is a requirement for you to have an agreement ‘in principle’ with potential academic supervisor(s), one of which must have a position within the School of Biological Sciences at Monash.  This will be AN ESSENTIAL part of the selection process. Without such agreement your application will not be considered further.
