The University of Melbourne is pleased to offer 2 Human Rights Scholarships* (HRSs) each year. These scholarships provide support for both international and local students who will be undertaking postgraduate studies in the human rights field and who are able to demonstrate their commitment to the peaceful advancement of respect for human rights.
*1. Benefits* - Living allowance of $22,000 per annum (2007 rate) for those students enrolled full-time in a research higher degree. Students enrolled in a postgraduate coursework degree will be paid pro-rata based on the number of points undertaken each semester - Relocation Grant of $2,500 to eligible recipients who are moving from interstate or overseas in order to study at the University of Melbourne. HRS recipients may also be eligible to claim (upon application and presentation of receipts) a Relocation Allowance for specific relocation expenses - Thesis Allowance of up to $420 (2007 rate) for masters by research and up to $840 (2007 rate) for PhD and other doctorate by research candidates.
