Top-Up Scholarships – Masters and PhD

AutoCRC recognizes that many research students are inspired by ideas that have no immediate application within the Automotive industry. We are proud to support students conducting exploratory research that may one day lead to innovations within the industry. Students holding APA, University, or other scholarships (not including APA industry) may apply for top-up funding to increase their living allowance to $28,000pa and will receive project support and professional development.

Students holding APA(1) scholarships are not eligible for AutoCRC top-up scholarships. Please read the scholarship conditions before submitting an application.
