Central Queensland University 2025 RTP Scholarship For International Students
RTP Stipend Scholarships are fully funded by the Australian Government and are designed to support international students pursuing research higher degrees. These scholarships provide financial assistance to help cover living costs while undertaking a Master’s or Doctoral degree by research. A wide range of academic fields are available for study at the university level, making these scholarships accessible to students from all over the world.
Benefits of CQUniversity RTP Scholarship
- 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.
* A separate application for an RTP Fees Offset Scholarship is not required.
Requirements for CQUniversity RTP Scholarship
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.
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.
