How to apply

Please note, applications have now closed for the 2023 cohort.

1. Check your eligibility

The Global Challenges PhD Scholarship is open to domestic students and international onshore students, i.e. international students who are currently residing in Australia.

International students living outside Australia are not eligible for the 2023 cohort of the scholarship. IMB has other scholarships and projects available if you are not eligible for this scholarship. 

2. Gather your documents

You will need to compile the necessary documents. UQ will accept scanned copies of original documents, but you will need to keep all original documents for the duration of your studies.

The UQ Graduate School will require you to upload all documents as PDFs, and name your files like this:
