We provide definitions for many of our terms in the Awards Documentation Glossary.

We strongly advise reading the full Terms and Conditions of Award for the Award for which you intend to apply.
Eligibility requirements are outlined within these Terms and Conditions of Award and are made available at the beginning of each Award Round.
Each Award has different funding requirements. Funding is disbursed annually according to the approved budget. Funding agreements for successful applicants will contain a payment schedule for the life of the Award.
When applying for an Award, please check the Terms and Conditions of Award for the preferred Award, to find detail of funding available.
Awards are on offer to Australian or New Zealand citizens and permanent residents (PR). If you have applied for citizenship or permanent residency, please include detail of this in your application for consideration.
If the application is successful, evidence that PR has been obtained must be provided to the Foundation in writing prior to 30th April in the year immediately following submission of the application, and before the completion of the Funding Agreement. An offer of an Award will not be held open beyond 30th April if PR status has not been obtained by that date.

For Awards where a Letter of Offer is required as part of the application, please include a signed letter from the nominated supervisor, with as much detail as possible in support of the applicant’s likelihood to receive an offer, including the date the Institution confirms offers to candidates.
