PhD top-up scholarships
Each year, applications for Wine Australia’s PhD scholarships open around the first Monday in October and close the first Friday in November.
Wine Australia offers a PhD scholarship program to help attract postgraduate students to the fields of wine, viticulture and wine business research. We are committed to supporting academic endeavour and encouraging the enthusiasm of the future leaders of oenology, viticulture and wine business researchers to support a prosperous Australian grape and wine community.
Wine Australia offers supplementary scholarships for up to 3.5 years full-time PhD study. Candidates must:
- be enrolled in or have applied for, a program at an Australian or overseas university
- hold, or have applied for, an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship or other equivalent scholarship through their host university
The most outstanding Wine Australia PhD scholarship applicant will receive the Dr Tony Jordan OAM Award which provides the recipient with additional stipend.
Scholarships are awarded based on academic excellence, the quality of an applicant’s Curriculum Vitae, the merit of the proposed research program, the expertise of the proposed supervisor(s), the likelihood of the student’s ongoing involvement in the wine sector, and funding availability.
International candidates enrolled at overseas universities are not eligible.
