Completion Scholarships

Completion Scholarships are supported by University of Adelaide research scholarship funding and are designed to encourage timely PhD completions.

Completion Scholarships are available to Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents undertaking a PhD who have not previously been in receipt of any type of scholarship funding. In special circumstances and at the discretion of the Dean of Graduate Studies completion scholarships may also be available to International students who have not previously been in receipt of scholarship funding.
