TICHR Stan & Jean Perron Awards

Awarded for research conducted principally at Telethon Institute for Child Health Research.

With the support of the Stan Perron Charitable Trust, the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research (TICHR) has established several prestigious awards aimed at supporting exceptional postgraduate research students who are undertaking their research at the Institute.

The awards will take the form of "top-up" stipends, to accompany scholarships which commence in 2010 and are won by the recipients through their enrolling Universities in separate application process.  The stipends will be $5,000 per year each for the duration of the scholarship, paid in conjunction with the scholarship.

To be eligible for consideration, a student has to enrol full-time for a research higher degree (PhD or equivalent) at the University, and conduct the research principally within the Institute under the supervision of one or more of the Institute's researchers.  The Award is supplementary to a scholarship awarded to the student through the University.

All scholarship winners will be considered for a Perron Award.  First Class Honours students who win an APA are guaranteed an Award.

Closing Date:  6th November 2009

Please note:  Requirement for concurrent Scholarship.  Applicants are also required to have submitted an online application for the Australian Postgraduate Awards directly to the relevant Scholarships Office.
