High-value scholarship for future PhD Engineering students, providing a substantial annual stipend along with relocation and eligible health-cover support.
Benefits
The scholarship is valued at up to approximately AUD 140,000. It provides a fortnightly living stipend at the 2027 full-time rate of AUD 41,100 per year for up to 3.5 years, with eligible paid sick, maternity and parenting leave. It also provides a one-off relocation allowance of AUD 2,000 for students moving from interstate or AUD 3,000 for students moving from outside Australia. Eligible international recipients who require a student visa receive Overseas Student Health Cover Single Membership.
Requirements
Applicants must hold an offer for the Doctor of Philosophy - Engineering commencing in 2027 and complete the separate scholarship application. The application requires a personal statement addressing leadership and community engagement, the proposed research and future goals, and how receiving the scholarship would benefit the applicant\'s doctoral study and development.
How to apply
First secure an offer for the University of Melbourne Doctor of Philosophy - Engineering commencing in 2027. From August 28, complete the dedicated Gordon and Isabel Humphrey Scholarship application through the University\'s SmartyGrants form and submit the required personal statement before the closing date.
Find scholarships, postgraduate study and internships
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Fully funded scholarships in Canada, the USA and Europe
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
Paid internships abroad and online internships
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
NGO jobs, entry-level jobs and internships in Uganda
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Application years and named scholarship programmes
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
