CEPAR PhD Supplementary Scholarships

The CEPAR Supplementary Scholarships provided additional support to eligible international and domestic higher degree research students who are in receipt of an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship, National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) or university equivalent scholarship that assisted them with pursuing a program of study related to CEPAR.

Further details are available in the CEPAR Supplementary Scholarship Guidelines.

Emerging researchers not involved directly with the CEPAR research program are invited to participate in a range of initiatives designed to bring students and research fellows together from a variety of disciplines to meet and exchange ideas, including applying for the CEPAR Affiliates Scheme.
