The Heart Foundation and the National Stroke Foundation are partnering to offer funding for Postgraduate Scholarships for research into the prevention, causes, diagnosis, treatment and long term support for stroke.
Scholarships will only be awarded to postgraduate students to support study towards a PhD. Awards are payable for up to three years for a Scholarship. Part-time applicants will also be considered. A separate application is not required for part-time awards.
If you wish to be considered for these co-funded Scholarships, please indicate this by ticking the box on the Postgraduate Research Scholarship application form.
Important Information for applicants
Please note there have been significant changes to the instructions and application forms for Heart Foundation Postgraduate Scholarships. These changes are effective from the 2010 funding round onwards.
The major changes are as follows:
* The forms are now separated into Part A and Part B.
* Two sets of supporting documentation must be included as two separate PDF files (Supporting documentation File 1 and Supporting Documentation File 2)
* Referees’ reports must be included with the application as part of Supporting Documentation File 2.
* Only those applicants who have yet to commence their PhD (or an equivalent degree) or who have completed less than 12 months of work towards their PhD at the time of application are eligible to apply for a Heart Foundation Postgraduate Scholarship.
* All applications for extensions must be submitted by 1st September each year, and applicants must be within 3 years of their original starting date of their PhD. A maximum of 6 months may be requested and approvals may only be provided by the Chair of the Scholarships Committee and the Research Program Director.
Closing date: Applications close 27 August, 2010. Please note that late applications will not be accepted.
