AustraliaAbout the UQ Graduate School Scholarship
The University of Queensland funds PhD and research Master's candidates through its Graduate School Scholarship, incorporating the national Research Training Program (RTP), with a tax-free stipend commonly cited around A$37,500 a year, a tuition fee offset, and possible relocation support. This is automatically considered when you apply for admission to a UQ higher degree by research program, with no separate scholarship form.
A note on naming: some sources reference a UQ scholarship called "JWB" (Julius Winnifred Bequest), but we could not confirm this as a currently active, distinctly-named UQ scholarship during research. If you have seen this name elsewhere, confirm directly with UQ's Graduate School whether it refers to a historical program or is simply an alternate name for the current UQGSS/RTP scheme described here.
