I‘m grateful for the
support
“
I received the Melbourne
International Fee Remission
Scholarship (MIFRS) and
the Melbourne International
Research Scholarship (MIRS)
to fund my PhD studies. The
MIFRS covers the tuition fees
associated with doing a PhD
as a full-time international
student and the MIRS is a
stipend, or living allowance,
which supports you while you
do your PhD. The scholarships
and conference funding I have
received has really helped me
to focus on what I need to do
for my PhD.
