Applications are now open for the 2015-2016 UTS International Research Scholarships (UTS IRS) in Australia. The UTS International Research Scholarship (UTS IRS) is provided by the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS) as part of its long term commitment to internationalisation with a particular view to enhancing its international links and profile in research. It is aimed at attracting high quality international students to work in areas of research strength.
Scholarship Value
The IRS only covers tuition fees under a doctoral or masters degree by research. It does not provide for the cost of standard Overseas Health Cover (OSHC), living allowance, travel, conference attendance, medical costs associated with the issue or renewal of a student visa, thesis expenses, the cost of English language testing, tuition fees for bridging English language courses, or costs associated with study-related field trips.
The IRS scholarship is not transferable to another institution. The maximum value of an IRS in a year is equal to the estimated annual tuition fee, as specified in the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS), for the HDR being undertaken by the student.
