The MEAFA PhD research scholarship In The University of Sidney, Australia

Description
The MEAFA PhD research scholarship is a competitive award that is provided as a top-up to holders of full-time  primary PhD scholarships providing a living allowance.

The primary PhD  scholarship, which must be obtained from another source, forms the basis of the  PhD stipend. Examples of primary scholarships include the Australian  Postgraduate Award (APA), the University Postgraduate Award (UPA), the Business School International Research Scholarship (BSIRS), the Business School Research  Scholarship (BSRS, for local students), and awards from other sponsoring  institutions (e.g. the Chinese Scholarship Council). The MEAFA top-up is available for as long as the primary scholarship is in effect up to the maximum of 3.5 years.

As at July 2011, the annual stipend of an APA/UPA was AU$22,860 and therefore the 75% maximum top-up was set at $17,145. The Business School already provides a partial top-up for APA/UPA of AU$7,140, and therefore the MEAFA top-up is restricted to AU$10,005, which brings the total stipend to AU$40,005 ($22,860+$7,140+$10,005) per annum.

The APA/UPA are the highest ranked scholarships, and therefore any top-ups offered by MEAFA for any other type of primary scholarship should not exceed the overall of AU$40,005.

Eligibility
The MEAFA top-up is available to full-time students who hold a primary scholarship providing a living allowance and who intend to complete a PhD degree at The University of Sydney Business School.

The MEAFA top-up is conditional on the tenure and restrictions of the primary scholarship, and is awarded as a supplement to that scholarship. The following key conditions hold:

• The thesis topic and the supervision structure must meet MEAFA's criteria, i.e. to carry out research in financial analysis using advanced quantitative research methods, with cross-disciplinary supervision by MEAFA members.
• The MEAFA top-up may be awarded either to prospective PhD students who have been awarded a PhD scholarship, or to current PhD students who already hold an existing scholarship.
• The tenure of MEAFA top-ups matches the tenure of the primary scholarship, up to a maximum of 3.5 years.
• If the primary scholarship is revoked, then the MEAFA top-up is automatically cancelled.
• The top-up award is further subject to a MEAFA annual review, and may be revoked if progress is inadequate or not in accordance with the agreed contribution to the MEAFA research programme. The revocation will follow a 6-month warning.

Application Procedure
Applications should be sent by email to demetris.christodoulou@sydney.edu.au and should include a curriculum vitae, a copy of academic transcript(s), and the names and contact details of at least two referees.

Submission Deadline
30th November (for PhD studies commencing in the first semester) and 30th May (for PhD studies commencing in the second semester).
