What you'll receive
CSIRO offers full and top-up postgraduate scholarships for periods of up to three years.
Full scholarships may be available in certain circumstances.
Eligibility
To be eligible for this scholarship you must:
- be a high achieving student enrolled in a PhD
- have gained, or be expected to gain, first or upper second-class honours or equivalent in relevant research areas
- expect to receive a Research Training Program (RTP) scholarship or equivalent scholarship in 2023/2024.
Recipients of postgraduate scholarships are generally required to be Australian citizens or hold permanent residency status. However, in fields in which there is a national skill shortage, scholarships may be awarded to overseas candidates, provided they meet Department of Immigration and Citizenship policy guidelines. International students must be able to provide evidence of admission to an Australian university.
How to apply
Applications are being sought in nominated priority research areas for the 2023/2024 program and will support a number of new PhD Scholarships.

About the scholarship
Developing the next generation of world-class scientists is critical for CSIRO to remain globally competitive and continue our rich history of delivering economic, social and environmental impact.
Each year, the program supports postgraduate scholarships for students to work on a project relevant to one of several priority research areas. Students are co-supervised by researchers in an Australian university and CSIRO. Postgraduate students who partner with CSIRO to complete their PhD studies will gain access to first-class facilities and have a unique opportunity to work alongside Australia's leading research scientists.
