RMIT University, Melbourne City campus

RMIT's funding is strongest at research level. Its Vice-Chancellor's Research Fellowships, which fund early-career researchers and appear on this page, are the main university-run awards of that group, and most doctoral candidates are supported through the national Research Training Program with RMIT as the administering university. A research offer at RMIT normally names its funding in the offer letter, so the question to ask a prospective supervisor is not whether money exists but which studentship your project fits.

Taught students meet RMIT's other layer: commencing-student awards, faculty merit scholarships and the country-specific schemes RMIT runs with partner governments and agencies. Several of those are visible below, including awards aimed at specific regions such as Africa and Latin America, and they are usually applied for through the university rather than a central portal.

One useful habit when reading this page: RMIT records are split across its Melbourne campuses under slightly different names, so search the university name alone if an award does not appear here. The funding type on each card tells you which layer it belongs to, and the official website button leads to the RMIT page that owns the current round and its real deadline.
