The duration of the scholarships is up to two years for Masters courses and up to four years for PhD courses. In order to be offered an India SIRF, applicants must have guaranteed funding for fifty percent (50%) of the their tuition fees for the full four-year duration of their candidature. Successful India SIRF applicants will be provided with a full living allowance scholarship. Living allowances are payments made to students while they are studying to cover living expenses. Scholarship students are only permitted to work limited hours and must enroll full-time so it is extremely important that students have a source of funds on which to live while they carry out their studies. In 2010, the living allowance scholarship will be $25,427 per annum tax-free. Successful applicants will normally be expected to start their PhD study program at UWA within 12 months of the scholarship being awarded.
