Melbourne Finance Guarantee

The Melbourne Finance Guarantee

Students studying full-time toward a PhD in Finance at the University of Melbourne, Australia are guaranteed a minimum living stipend of A$18,660 (2006) per year.

For international students, the Department of Finance also guarantees the payment of their University of Melbourne PhD tuition fees (A$23,520 per year in 2006).

Tuition fees for Australian and New Zealand students, or permanent residents, are funded by the Commonwealth of Australia. The guarantee is for the normal three year period of the PhD degree but may be extended for an additional year. Terms and conditions apply.

The guarantee means that if we accept you as PhD student your finances are secure.

You do not have to apply for these scholarships. The Department of Finance submits an application on your behalf.
