Value/inclusions/duration of the scholarship:
A University may provide one or more of the following types of support to an RTP Scholarship recipient under RTP:
• An RTP Fees Offset pays for a higher degree by research (HDR) student’s tuition fees that would otherwise have been paid by the student. This necessitates that a university fully offset a student’s tuition fee. This is not a salary.
• An RTP Stipend to help students with living expenses while pursuing a higher degree through research.
• RTP Allowances to help students with the ancillary costs of pursuing a higher degree through research (HDR). This includes HDR relocation expenses, HDR thesis printing and academic publication expenses, and health insurance costs for recipients and their dependents.
Eligibility of Australia Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarships:
A student must be a domestic or international student enrolled in an accredited HDR course of study at an Australian HEP to be eligible for an RTP Stipend, RTP Fees Offset, or RTP Allowance. Section 1.5 of the Commonwealth Scholarships Guidelines (Research) 2017 lists the basic eligibility criteria for an RTP.
