Sidney Myer Health Scholarship, Australia

Sidney Myer Fund: Sidney Myer Health Scholarship, Australia

Scholarship Type: Postgraduate Research,

The aim of the Sidney Myer Health Scholarship is to enhance the career development of allied and public health, medical, bio-medical science and nursing professionals, and address community and population health issues in local and regional communities across Australia over the period of three years.

A full Sydney Myer Health Scholarship Stipend is $37,500 each year for three years. The Stipend will pay for salaries and/or direct research costs. An additional $5,000 per annum will be made available to the scholar and their supervisor for research related travel.

Applicants must be: (a) full-time PhD students enrolled in an eligible Australian university or research institution; or (b) students who have applied for a full-time PhD at an Australian university or research institute. Applicants may be a recipient of a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Scholarship. In this instance applicants would be eligible for a Top-Up Scholarship. A Top-Up Scholarship will pay the difference between the NHMRC Scholarship Stipend and the Sidney Myer Health Scholarship.
