Flinders University Australian Government Scholarship 2025 (Fully Funded)

Applications are now open for the Flinders University Australian Government Research Training Program (AGRTP) Scholarship for International Students 2025. This prestigious, fully funded scholarship is designed to support exceptional international students in pursuing a Higher Degree by Research (HDR)—either a Master’s by Research or a Ph.D.—at Flinders University in Australia.

Each year, a limited number (up to 6) of AGRTP scholarships are awarded to outstanding candidates based on academic excellence, research training, and potential for impactful research. Due to the small number of awards available, the competition is extremely fierce. In the previous round, successful applicants had maximum research scores, with many submitting multiple high-quality publications.

The scholarship covers full tuition fees, a living stipend, and health care coverage, and is tenable for up to three years for Ph.D. programs and two years for Master’s by Research. To be eligible, applicants must be commencing their first HDR program in Australia and commit to full-time study. If you’re ready to take your research career to the next level, this is a golden opportunity to do so at one of Australia’s leading research institutions.
