Arthritis Victoria is excited to announce our PhD Scholarships Program

Arthritis Victoria PhD Scholarship, Australia

Arthritis Victoria is excited to announce our PhD Scholarships Program for 2010. We are seeking committed and enthusiastic PhD scholars to explore ways in which Arthritis Victoria can improve the health outcomes of our consumers.

Full scholarships and/or top up scholarships will be offered to students residing in Victoria who are enrolled (or will enrol) at a Victorian university. Alternatively, Victorian-based research groups interested in the area of musculoskeletal health may apply for these scholarships. It is essential that the proposed research incorporates Arthritis Victoria’s Research Priorities 2009/2011 and contributes to the field of musculoskeletal research.

Application forms, scholarship guidelines, referee reports and other supporting materials are available for download below. Please ensure that you read the relevant guideline document very carefully before submitting your application.

Please note that late or incomplete applications will not be accepted.
