Defer your scholarship

If you’re unable to start your research degree in the session your scholarship has been awarded, you may be able to defer your scholarship funding until the following session, within the same calendar year. It is unlikely that you will be able to defer to the next calendar year. Please check your scholarship Conditions of Award for deferral options, or email the Graduate Research School at research.scholarships@uts.edu.au for advice.
