We also want to mention that the AGRTP scholarship provides all successful applicants with a tuition fee offset, a living stipend, and health cover insurance.

Right from the start, we want to mention that there is a limited number (10) of scholarships offered each year. Therefore, the application process is highly competitive and only the most outstanding students will have a chance to benefit from this program. In addition, the AGRTPS scholarship positions are awarded on the basis of academic merit, academic research training, and individual performance results.
