Overview
For the purpose of encouraging postgraduate research Victoria offers PhD scholarships to those about to commence their doctoral studies. In some cases to candidates already enrolled in their PhD may be encouraged to apply for a Victoria PhD Scholarship. The scholarships are awarded on academic merit and are open to New Zealand and international students in any discipline and are awarded in three rounds each year ‐ 1 March, 1 July and 1 November.
Value of this scholarship
The Victoria PhD Scholarship currently consists of a $21,000 per annum stipend plus domestic tuition fees for up to three years. During each round a small number of Vice Chancellor’s Doctoral Scholarships will be awarded to the top ranked candidates ‐ these currently consist of a $24,000 stipend plus tuition fees for up to three years.

· The applicant has significant work experience or significant peer esteem in the research field to which they are applying.
· The applicant has a recognised record of publications.

The Victoria Doctoral Assistantship consists of a $15,000 per annum stipend for three years plus domestic tuition fees and an offer of employment as a tutor or research assistant in the School, Institute or Centre for the term of the scholarship. The employment component of the Victoria Doctoral Assistantship is worth $5,000 per annum.
