Taiwan University of Sydney PhD Scholarship
The University of Sydney
The Taiwan–University of Sydney PhD Scholarship supports eligible Taiwanese citizens with international tuition fees and a living stipend at the RTP International rate. The page highlights a 24 November 2026 closing date; applicants should use that earlier date because its application steps mention 25 November.
The University of Sydney and Taiwan’s Ministry of Education co-fund up to five full-time PhD scholarships each year. The award covers international PhD tuition fees and a living stipend for up to 14 research periods. Applicants must pursue admission to a University of Sydney PhD and also apply through Taiwan’s Ministry of Education. The university’s page gives different dates in its highlights and application steps, so candidates should work to the earlier 24 November 2026 date and verify both portals.

Requirements
Apply for admission to the University of Sydney PhD programme and separately apply through Taiwan’s Ministry of Education. The university’s highlights say the scholarship closes 24 November 2026, while its application instructions say 25 November for admission and the Ministry; to be safe, complete both steps by 24 November and confirm current times with the providers.
