Postgrad Bursary

This category supports postgraduates attending conferences, symposiums, or similar events that are relevant to their study, research, or career.

Funding can go towards things like registration, flights, accommodation, and visas.

We prioritise students who are presenting, attending key events in their field, or can clearly show how the conference will benefit their work.

To apply, you’ll need to provide:

• Proof of acceptance or registration
• A short explanation of why the event matters for you
• A simple budget

Funding can be used for things like short courses, workshops, training programs, certifications, or essential academic resources not otherwise provided by the University.

Priority is given to applications that show a clear link to academic progress, research outcomes, or employability.

To apply, you’ll need:

• Details of the course or activity (e.g. enrolment, quote, or link)
• A short explanation of how it supports your goals
• A simple budget

This category supports structured, career-relevant internships or placements that are directly related to your field of study and contribute to clear professional outcomes.

Funding is limited to essential costs only, such as travel or accommodation required to undertake the placement.

Supports postgraduate students with young children where caregiving responsibilities are directly impacting their ability to study.

Funding is limited to costs that clearly reduce study barriers, such as:

• Childcare during classes, exams, or key academic activities
• Short-term support during intensive study periods (e.g. milestones, submissions)
• Study-related travel where childcare costs increase as a result

Funding will not be provided for:

• General living expenses or ongoing childcare costs
• Costs not directly linked to study requirements
