About
Applications are invited from Master and Doctor of Philosophy students with an interest in student equity in higher education to participate in the Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success (ACSES) Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Stipend Scheme.
ACSES is a What Works Centre dedicated to advancing equity in higher education through research, trials and evaluation, and data-driven collaborations.
The ACSES HDR Stipend Scheme is an opportunity for the Centre to help develop Australia’s next generation of researchers. Successful applicants will receive $10,000 to scope out a research project that will lead to the development of a journal paper manuscript suitable for submission to a peer-reviewed journal in the field of higher education.
Interested applicants must be students enrolled in either a Master by Research degree or equivalent (AQF Level 9) or a Doctor of Philosophy degree or equivalent (AQF Level 10) at any one of Australia’s Table A and Table B provider universities.
Students from all disciplines are invited to apply, but research projects must be on a topic relating to equity in Australian higher education practice and policy.
Applications close at 4pm (AWST) on Wednesday, 7 May 2025. ACSES will acknowledge receipt of all applications submitted, and outcomes will be announced by June 2025.
