Department of Economics PhD Scholarships & Stipends
We offer scholarship opportunities to PhD students enrolled in the Department of Economics. They are:

  The Henry Buck Scholarship
The Henry Buck Scholarship is awarded annually. It is valued at approximately AUD$4000, but is dependent on the annual net income from the Henry Buck Trust. Subject to the approval of the Department's PhD Committee, the recipient may utilize the scholarship solely for living allowance, or may commit the funds to a combination of purposes that are directly related to their studies. The scholarship is for a twelve month period only (running from January 1st - December 31st). The method of payment will be dependent on the successful applicants intended use of the funds. The Department reserves the right not to offer the scholarship in any given year.

Selection
Students who are enrolled as full-time PhD students with the Department of Economics will be considered for a Faculty Fee Remission Scholarship and the Henry Buck Scholarship if they:

• Have a Department Recommended Scholarship Score (DRS) of equal to or greater than 80 and
• Are not in receipt of a University or Government Scholarship.

Living stipends may be available for eligible students to financially assist them. Further information is available on request.
