31 May - Deadline and Important info for Postgrad Research Scholarship applications for Domestic students

Attn: Postgraduate Research Supervisors,

This is a reminder that 31 May 2018 is the deadline for scholarship applications from domestic students for Round 2/ 2018 of Postgraduate Research Scholarships. 

Important changes to the EoI (Expression of Interest) and Invitation to Apply have been announced:

1. An email is no longer accepted as supervisor statement of willingness to accept a student.  The attached EOI form must be completed and attached by the student to their application.

2. Applicants are no longer required to upload two referee reports as part of their PhD / scholarship application.  In the Faculty of MNHS, it is now the responsibility of the proposed main supervisor to assess the potential PhD applicant quality using the Quality Check Toolkit. This involves contacting referee/s to ascertain suitability for PhD prior to issuing an invitation to apply.  Referees will need to be contacted by the prospective supervisor by phone or email. 

3. The main supervisor completes Sections 8 and 9 of the EOI form(attached) which includes a declaration that they have completed the Quality Check (including referee check) using the Quality Check Toolkit(attached).  

If you have any interested local applicants (or Honours students who will be completing mid-year) please encourage them to apply online at:  https://www.monash.edu/graduate-research/future-students/apply.
