What Nigerians should know about 2026 Australia’s fully funded scholarship

Australia's 2026 Research Training Program (RTP) scholarship is now open for applications, offering fully funded opportunities for Nigerian and other international students to pursue Master’s by Research and PhD degrees at Australian universities. Funded by the Australian government, the RTP covers full tuition fees, a living stipend, and additional research-related allowances. Each participating university manages its own application and selection process, with no centralized portal. The program replaces previous scholarships like the Australian Postgraduate Award and is aimed at supporting research training and preparing graduates for careers in various fields. The stipend for 2026 is set at AUD 34,315 annually, though some universities may offer higher amounts. Applications vary by institution, with some closing between July and October 2026 for early 2027 admissions.
