Scholarship
Description: The
Melbourne International Fee Remission Scholarship (MIFRS) is awarded to
international students wishing to undertake graduate research degree
studies at the University of Melbourne. MIFRSs are funded by the
University with each faculty having a limited number of awards.
Number of
awards (s): Each year the University of
Melbourne offers about 150 MIFRSs.
Duration of
award (s): –The duration of a scholarship
will be reduced if a study was undertaken towards the degree before
commencement of the scholarship, during suspension of the scholarship (e.g. unpaid Leave of Absence), or during the
tenure of a previous Australian Postgraduate Course Award (or APA).
-The maximum scholarship tenure excludes periods of leave (apart from overseas
study leave). All durations are expressed as FTE (i.e. full-time equivalent.)
-IPRS and MIFRS recipients often hold a MIRS (a living
allowance scholarship) as well. The MIRS cannot be extended beyond 3.5 years
for PhD and other research doctorate students. This means that if a second 6
month extension to the IPRS or MIFRS is approved, the student would need to
cover their own living expenses for the final 6 months.
-Note that completion of a masters degree while holding a
scholarship does not guarantee the award of a scholarship for research doctorate (eg. PhD) study.
What does it
cover? The MIFRS covers full tuition
costs, but not overseas student health care.
