of South Australia is a globally-focused, locally-engaged institution
established on the dual principles of equity and excellence. With more

The
University of South Australia is inviting applications for the President’s
Scholarships available for Australian and International students and awarded
on the basis of academic merit. Scholarships are available to support
students enrolling in areas of research concentration and research strength and
are nearly always given to doctorate by research candidates but can be given to
masters by research candidates in some cases.

In order
to be eligible for the scholarship you must have a University of South
Australia supervisor willing to nominate you
for consideration and outstanding academic records, and be a citizen of an
overseas country eligible for entry to Australia for the time required to
complete the research degree.
Criteria
for Australian applicants:
·
Generally an applicant must have first-class Honours or
equivalent to be eligible;
·
Scholarships are awarded on the basis that the candidate will
be studying full-time. In some cases, candidates can apply to receive
scholarships on a part-time basis if there are compelling social reasons (eg
the need to provide full-time care of children, disabled, sick, injured or
elderly). The need to undertake part- or full-time work is not considered a
compelling social reason.
