RTP Allowance

About the RTP Allowance

The Research Training Program (RTP) Allowance is a significant opportunity for international students studying at the University of Notre Dame Australia. Funded by the Australian government, this allowance aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens that students may face during their academic journey. It is designed to support various costs associated with research activities, which is a vital component of postgraduate study.

This scholarship is especially beneficial for students pursuing higher degrees by research, such as Masters and PhDs. It typically covers expenses linked to thesis printing, the cost of academic publications, and even relocation costs incurred while moving to Australia to undertake the research program. By offering this financial support, the RTP Allowance helps ensure that students can focus on their studies rather than stress over financial challenges.
