MUPSA Scholarship

The Murdoch University Postgraduate Students Association (MUPSA) in conjunction with the Murdoch University Guild of Students is offering low-income students the opportunity to apply for a $500 scholarship. This scholarship is designed to assist students who are currently completing postgraduate studies including the Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma, Masters and PhD courses.

Tax Exemption

If you are a full time student, this scholarship will be classed as tax exempt in most circumstances. However, if you are a part-time student, you will need to declare the scholarship as income. To confirm the exemption status, please check the Australian Tax Office website's scholarship tool. This can be found at www.ato.gov.au by putting scholarship into the search area, and selecting 'Is your scholarship taxable?'
