Ranking Process
Applications for research scholarships as part of the Annual Scholarship
Round at Griffith University are firstly processed within the Griffith
Graduate Research School (GGRS). It is at this point that applications are
initially reviewed for eligibility for entry into Griffith research
programs.
Following this initial review, applications are then forwarded to the
appropriate schools, departments or research centres for academic staff to
assess applications for both entry into Griffith research programs, and for
consideration for a scholarship. All applications are then assessed by the
Dean (Research)of the relevant Group and the Dean, Griffith Graduate
Research School, to arrive at an outcome against the selection
criteria.
Applications that are recognised as meeting the selection criteria
requirements for scholarship consideration are then assessed and ranked in
an order of merit, in the proposed host school, department, research centre,
and academic group. The order of merit is based on the
Higher Degree Research Scholarship Policy
and takes into consideration:

with the substantial research component but also taking into account the
grades of any other eligible qualification, as applicable.

with the substantial research component was completed .Research background,
including:
-
The quality of the eligible research outputs included as evidence in an
application, as well as the applicant's contribution to these
outputs
-

how the research activity undertaken bears upon and enhances
-
The applicant's research capacity, with regard to the proposed
research.
-
The compatibility/fit of the proposed research with university/academic

-
The compatibility/fit between the applicant, research environment, and

scholarships are awarded to the highest ranking applicants in this
university-wide Order of Merit.
