Introduction.
The Australian Government Research Training Program (AGRTP) Scholarship Program is now accepting applications. The scholarship will take place at Finders University in Australia and it aims to support international students from all over the world to access a higher-degree research program that is going to help them get a successful career. 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.
