Description

The University of Melbourne offers its own Melbourne Research Scholarships to support students

undertaking research in higher degrees. The scholarships are awarded in conjunction with faculties and,

as a result, are often called a Faculty MRS. A range of sources, including benefactors and corporate

sponsors, fund these scholarships.
