The Dora Lush (Biomedical) Postgraduate Research Scholarships are designed to encourage science or health related honours graduates of outstanding ability to gain full-time medical research experience in Australia. All candidates must enrol for a higher degree. The scholarships are awarded initially for one year but, subject to suitable progress reports being received, may be renewed for one or more years. Normally, the maximum period of the award will be three years.

Eligibility

Third year combined MBBS/Ph.D. students are eligible to apply for this scholarship and if successful will receive a scholarship for two years full-time and up to a further one and one-half years part-time. Those eligible to apply are Australian citizens who have already completed a science or health related honours degree or equivalent at the time of submission of application, or science or health related honours graduates and unregistered medical/dental graduates from overseas, who have permanent resident status and are currently residing in Australia.
