Brian Gray Scholarships
(Australian Prudential Regulation Authority)

The Brian Gray Scholarship program provides four scholarships valued at $12,500 each to support students in finance, economics, actuarial science, ecomonetrics, statistics or related disciplines who intend to focus full-time on their studies and research. The Scholarship also provides the opportunity to devote time to an agreed research topic benefiting, where possible, from access to Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) expertise and data. Scholarship holders can also gain valuable work experience with APRA during their final year of study.

Who Can Apply?

If you are an Honours year or PhD student studying a topic of relevance to prudential supervision and are an Australian or New Zealand citizen or permanent resident you are eligible to apply. Postgraduate students may also apply.

Eligible subject areas include: banking, insurance and superannuation, particularly the prudential supervision and financial soundness of these industries, as well as econometrics and statisical studies using APRA's databases.

How To Apply

You can apply online via APRA's website at www.apra.gov.au providing details of your academic performance, work experience and extra-cirricular activities as well as an outline of your proposed research and its relevance to APRA. Two written references must also be submitted online. Written references must be attached to the application form so you may need to scan hard copies.
