A number of scholarships are available to assist research candidates who are at the writing-up stage of their candidature. This scholarship is known as the Griffith University Completion Assistance Postgraduate Research Scholarship (CAPRS).
There are four competitive application rounds per year. The Dean, Griffith Graduate Research School, meets with a panel of the University’s Deans (Research) or their nominee to determine the awardees. The scholarships are awarded to candidates who, in the opinion of the panel, best meet the CAPRS selection criteria.
The thesis must be submitted on or before the scholarship expiry date. At the time of application, applicants must lodge a completion plan that corresponds with the proposed scholarship start and end dates. The completion plan must include individual tasks to be completed and dates for completion.
The scholarship rate will be at the Research Training Program Stipend rate at the time of payment, and is funded by the Griffith Graduate Research School.
The period of tenure of a scholarship will normally be up to 12 weeks.
A successful international applicant will also be offered a tuition scholarship for the duration of the award.
