Postgraduate research travel awards

The Convocation Postgraduate Research Travel Awards (PGRTA) bursaries enable postgraduate research students to enhance and gain new perspectives on their work, through travel in Australia or overseas, at least 6 months before submission of their thesis.

These awards were established to mark the 75th Anniversary of the University. They are supported by the generous donations of graduates, with the assistance of the Postgraduate Students' Association.

Postgraduate Research Travel Awards allow recipients to defray up to $3,000 of travel costs related to their research.

The award is paid as a reimbursement upon presentation of original receipts.
