Top-Up Scholarship

education - student 2

Awarded to gifted young university students pursuing their PhD, these Top-up Scholarships serve to supplement the student's funding base by $6,000 per year.

To be eligible, students must first have obtained a pre-eminent, externally funded post-graduate research scholarship. With the additional income of this Award, students have the benefit of financial consistency for up to three years.

This scholarship is of great importance to a PhD student. These funds help to significantly defray living expenses whilst studying.

Investment: $22,000 per annum

The awarding of a Scholarship Stipend enables us to recruit and retain the most gifted scientific talent at the earliest stage of a scientist’s career.

Recipients of the Scholarship Stipend are given the opportunity to take the first major steps in their chosen career of scientific discovery and innovation.

Our commitment to Top-Up Scholarship supporters:

  • Naming Rights
  • Meet the recipient of your scholarship
  • Provide a research report on the progress of this emerging scientist
  • Extend to you invitations to Baker IDI functions and events
  • Recognition opportunities will include acknowledgement in our Annual Report, on our website, and other means as appropriate and agreed
  • All recognition opportunities are commensurate with investment.
