Flagship Postgraduate Scholarships

The National Research Flagships program is an initiative of CSIRO, designed to bring together large multidisciplinary teams to focus on Australia’s major challenges and opportunities.

The Flagships offer full and top-up Flagship Postgraduate Scholarships to high quality students who are enrolled in a PhD at an Australian university, and who will be working on a project which is directly relevant to a Flagship.

Top-up scholarships will be the norm. Valued at $7000 per annum, they are available to PhD students who have gained (or expect to gain) an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) or equivalent scholarship.

In some circumstances full scholarships will be available. These offer a stipend of the equivalent of an APA plus CSIRO's top-up amount of $7000 per annum for three years.

International students are eligible to apply, but must be able to provide evidence of admission to an Australian university.

Each Flagship will list a number of priority areas of research in which it is particularly seeking applications. These priority areas, along with the Fund guidelines and links to the application forms, will be available on the CSIRO Web.

Closing Date: 27th November
