Postgraduate Research Scholarships at Flinders University

Scholarships: Flinders International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (FIPRS) are awarded to international students on the basis of academic merit, academic research training and research indicators and performance.

The scholarship is tenable for up to three years for a Research Doctorate degree and up to two years for a Research Masters degree. Successful applicants are required to undertake full time study.

Applicants for the FIPRS will be automatically considered for the International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS).
