The Gordon and Isabel Humphrey Scholarship is a 2027 award for a graduate researcher enrolling in an Engineering PhD in the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology. The University lists one scholarship for 2027.
Applicants must already have received a course offer for the Doctor of Philosophy – Engineering and Information Technology, in an Engineering field, for commencement in 2027.
The University lists both domestic and international students as eligible. International applicants must still meet the course’s admission requirements and Australian student visa requirements.
The scholarship page does not list a tuition fee offset for this award. Applicants should confirm how their tuition fees would be covered before relying on this scholarship.
The scholarship form asks for:
The separate PhD course application has its own supporting-document requirements. Check the course application instructions for those requirements.
The 2027 scholarship application round is open. Applications close at midnight at the end of 25 October 2026 AEDT. The University says the scholarship will be offered to the graduate researcher ranked highest by the selection panel.
Applicants must have a 2027 Engineering PhD course offer before they can meet the scholarship eligibility condition. The University says one scholarship is available for 2027.
The scholarship is subject to the University’s Graduate Research Scholarship terms and conditions. The recipient must agree that the University may share their name and course details with the donor and may be asked to provide a note of appreciation or a brief report.
The application form requires applicants to cite AI-generated text used in responses. If AI tools are used for other purposes, such as editing or grammar, applicants must acknowledge that use.
This is a scholarship, not a visa sponsorship offer. International students need a valid Australian student visa to study. The scholarship lists single-membership OSHC for eligible international students who require a student visa; it does not guarantee a visa.
Verified on 14 October 2026 against the University of Melbourne scholarship page and its active 2027 application portal.
The specific award page lists a stipend, relocation support and OSHC, but does not list tuition fee remission. Do not describe this award alone as fully funded. The University’s separate graduate research scholarships may have different benefits; applicants should confirm their own tuition arrangement.
The official directory displays “up to AUD 140,000,” but this differs from the stated AUD 41,100 annual stipend over the maximum 3.5 years. TripDoc uses the annual rate and duration rather than the aggregate claim.
The scholarship page does not state whether a course application fee applies.
