The UOW Research Career Launch Scholarships are designed to jump start careers of young researchers by supporting them after the submission of their thesis.
UOW Australian Government Research Training Program (AGRTP) and University Postgraduate Award (UPA) holders, who have not exhausted all of their scholarship stipend payments, will be allowed to continue being paid their scholarship stipend from thesis submission to thesis acceptance. Candidates in receipt of other types of stipend scholarships will be required to consult with their supervisor/s on where this option is available.
The scholarship will assist the candidate to remain at the University during the examination process which will be helpful if, as is common, the examiners require corrections or changes to the thesis. The scheme will also assist the writing and submission of publications at the time when the author is most familiar with the work and in the best position to write them.
Career Launch Scholarships can be used for research training activities such as publication writing and submission, thesis revisions, conference attendance and research career development.
