Step 2: Apply for the scholarship:
Complete the online scholarship application form.
You will be asked questions about your proposed project with a brief personal statement covering your suitability and motivation for the research. You will also be required to upload a copy of your academic transcript.
Make sure you're prepared for the questions and have a copy of your academic transcript handy. This form cannot be saved and if it is left for an extended amount of time (around 30 minutes) the system will time you out, and you'll lose your progress.

Our school is leading education and research in secure and people-friendly technologies that benefit our increasingly connected and data-rich world.
We're home to research groups specialising in human-computer interaction, information security and data science. These include the SCADA Cyber Security Laboratory, one of Australia's largest research groups in information security, GRIDLab, our games research and interaction design laboratory, and QUT Ecoacoustics, our laboratory that uses acoustic-sensing technology for monitoring the environment. Through the QUT Centre for Data Science our staff develop methods for using data to benefit our world.
We partner with industry and community members to lead the way in real-world research. Our school is a research partner in the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre, a national consortium of government, industry and academic institutions, focusing on the cyber security of industrial control systems that form a major part of our nation's critical infrastructure. We are also a core partner in Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child, which is based at QUT, investigating the opportunities provided by digital technologies to benefit children and their families
Academics from our school are working with national energy infrastructure company Jemena on the security of their new "smart" electricity substations. As old electro-mechanical devices are replaced with computer-based systems we gain flexibility and save costs, but introduce new cyber security risks. This joint research will propose ways of identifying and mitigating these threats, even when the system contains third-party components where trustworthiness isn't guaranteed.
