New MV Scholarship and Co-supervision Opportunities

Monash and Museum Victoria (MV) are excited to be strengthening their partnership through the launch of new PhD and Honours scholarships, as well as continuing to offer co-supervision opportunities.

The scholarships include two new PhD top-up scholarships each valued at $5,000 per year over three years (with a possible six-month extension), and two new one-off Honours scholarships each valued at $1,000.


There are a number of selection and eligibility criteria including the requirement to be a full-time PhD or Hons student and working on projects which are either co-supervised by Monash and MV, or are substantially focused on some aspects of the MV collection.

Find the full details of the scholarship guidelines and find the application form at the MIGR website (guidelines include relevant Monash and MV contacts).

The closing date for applications is 6 March, 2015.

As they apply, students should consider the terms and conditions of any existing scholarship arrangements they may have.

MV manages large and significant collections related to a wide range of humanities and science disciplines making it a rich storehouse of opportunity for researchers.

Co-supervision arrangements can greatly enhance the experience of both students and supervisors by improving access to collections and enhancing professional networks.
