The Griffith University International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (GUIPRS) are available during the University’s mid- and end-of-year research scholarship rounds. The GUIPRS covers tuition fees for the student for up to three years for doctoral candidates and up to two years for research masters candidates. In addition, the scholarship covers Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the student and any dependant/s for the duration of the scholarship.

Effective from November 2011, postgraduate research students are required to hold a visa for their program length plus an additional 6 months to allow for interactive thesis marking. Higher Degree Research students undertaking a Doctor of Philosophy will require 56 months of overseas health cover.

Holders of Griffith University scholarships will receive cover (if undertaking a PhD) for the first 42 months of their program and will be required to pay the remaining 14 months (and provide evidence of coverage) at the time of accepting their offer.
