Description of the Scholarship
The Endeavour International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (EIPRS) program was established to maintain and develop international research linkages and specifically aims to attract top quality international postgraduate students to areas of research strength in the Australian higher education sector and support Australia’s research effort.

The Endeavour International Postgraduate Research Award (EIPRS) is awarded to an international student of exceptional research potential undertaking a higher degree by research (HDR). The award covers tuition costs and the cost of Overseas Student Health Cover. No living allowance is provided.

Duration of an EIPRS
The duration of an EIPRS is three years for a student undertaking Research Doctorate studies, and two years for a student undertaking Research Masters studies. The date of first enrolment is the commencement date for the scholarship. The duration of an EIPRS will be reduced by any periods of study undertaken during suspension of the EIPRS.

Swinburne University may also approve an extension to the duration of an EIPRS for a Research Doctorate student of up to six months provided the student is making satisfactory progress and the grounds for the extension are related to study and are beyond the control of the student. Swinburne University will not approve an extension to the duration of an EIPRS for a Research Masters student.

Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for an EIPRS and to maintain entitlement to the EIPRS, a student must:

• be a citizen of a country other than Australia and New Zealand; and
• meet international student visa requirements as specified by the Commonwealth Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC), including the requirement to purchase and maintain a standard Overseas Student Health Cover policy approved by the Commonwealth Government Department of Health and Ageing; and
• be accepted for candidature and enrolled in a higher degree by research (HDR) at Swinburne University; and
• be enrolled on a full-time basis; and
• be undertaking study in a subject area identified by Swinburne University as one of its areas of research concentration; and
• be ineligible for study under the Commonwealth’s Research Training Scheme (RTS) at the commencement of the HDR; and
• not be a student for the purposes of the Commonwealth’s RTS; and
• satisfy Swinburne’s academic entry requirements for a Research Masters or a Research Doctorate programme (as the case may be), including the English proficiency levels set by Swinburne University for international students; and
• not hold a Research Doctorate degree regarded by Swinburne University to be equivalent to an Australian Research Doctorate degree; and
• if undertaking a Research Masters degree, not hold a Research Masters degree regarded by Swinburne University to be equivalent to, or a higher qualification than, an Australian Research Masters degree; and
• not have held an Australian Agency for International Development scholarship within the two years prior to the commencement of their EIPRS; and
• not be receiving a scholarship under any other Commonwealth Government scholarship scheme or any other scholarship scheme to which the Commonwealth Government makes a substantial contribution; and
• not previously have received an EIPRS for a Research Doctorate degree; and
• not previously have received an EIPRS for a Research Masters degree, unless:
  • that degree was completed and the student is undertaking a Research Doctorate
    degree; or
  • the student has converted their EIPRS

Ongoing Eligibility
Swinburne University monitors students’ ongoing eligibility to ensure that the students continue to meet the eligibility requirements set out in these Guidelines.

Value of Scholarships
The maximum value of an EIPRS in a year is equal to:

• the estimated annual program cost for the HDR being undertaken by the student; plus
• the cost of a standard Overseas Student Health Cover policy approved by the Commonwealth Government Department of Health and Ageing and which covers the student and their spouse and dependants (if any) for the period of the EIPRS.
