Scholarship 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:
-
Academic merit, with emphasis on the results attained in the
qualification with the substantial research component but also taking into
account the grades of any other eligible qualification, as
applicable
-
The international standing of the institution at which the qualification
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
-
The level and duration of sustained research experience and evidence of
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
group research priorities
-
The compatibility/fit between the applicant, research environment, and
supervision.
The University's Higher Degree Research Scholarship Ranking Committee meets
to establish a university-wide Order of Merit List. Through this process,
scholarships are awarded to the highest ranking applicants in this
university-wide Order of Merit.
Scholarship Condition for Award
Policies may be adopted that provide for a limited number of GUPRS to be
allocated, for example, the Continuing Student Scholarship Scheme. In such
cases, there may be additional eligibility requirements or variations to the
procedure for selection and award. The GUPRS conditions of award will be
amended to reflect the variations applicable to the awardee.
