WAARC Postgraduate Research Scholarship Program students - WAARC Showcase 2025

WAARC’s Postgraduate Research Scholarship Program provides successful applicants with top-up scholarships to the value of about $25,000 a year for up to 3.5 years, to support their living expenses while completing their PhDs.

The Scholarship Program is a significant $2.25 million investment by the WA State Government to encourage bright research minds into the agriculture and food sector.

The students are supervised and supported by WAARC’s university members – Curtin University, Murdoch University, and The University of Western Australia.

They are also part of a professional development program aimed at building their agricultural research and development knowledge, skills, networks, and first-hand industry experience. See the Postgraduate Program page for more information.

WAARC’s non-university members CSIRO, Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, and Grower Group Alliance provide access to leading industry researchers as possible co-supervisors, world-class research facilities, field sites, grower groups, and industry networks.

Students’ research projects align with one or more of WAARC’s six key research programs: Northern Agriculture, Grains Transformation, Resilient Agricultural Futures, Agricultural Technologies, Aboriginal Science Engagement, and Capacity Building and Extension.
