Doctoral scholarships

'UC Doctoral Scholarships' is a term referring to a collection of scholarships that are funded centrally by the University. The next UC Doctoral Scholarship application round will open in August and close October 2025 for those starting their studies in 2026.

There are a number of other UC scholarships available that students can apply for. Check each scholarship's eligibility and selection criteria outlined in the regulations.

Sometimes a department has funding with which they can offer a student a scholarship - check with your supervisor to see if this is a possibility for you.

Check if there is an existing project topic that interests you which has scholarship funding attached.

Try searching for a scholarship from an organisation external to UC.
