Hi all,
If you are graduating soon from your masters and planning to apply for a Ph.D abroad, you might consider the following opportunity.
International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (IPRS)
The main objectives of the IPRS program are to:
* attract top quality international postgraduate students to areas of research strength in Australian higher education providers; and * support Australia's research effort.
The IPRS program enables international students to undertake a postgraduate research qualification in Australia and gain experience with leading Australian researchers.
Scholarships are open to international students of all countries (except New Zealand) and are available for a period of two years for a Masters by research degree or three years for a Doctorate by research degree. The scholarship covers tuition fees and health cover costs for scholarship holders, and health cover costs for their dependants (Please note that if you win the award, the concerned university will provide the maintenance grant).
Applications for a scholarship need to be made directly to a participating university. Universities are responsible for determining the selection process by which scholarships are allocated to applicants. Contact details for Australian universities may be obtained from http://www.studyinaustralia.gov.au/Sia/en/Links/Universities.htm ttp://www.studyinaustralia.gov.au/Sia/en/Links/Universities.htm%22 ou
The allocation of IPRS grants to participating universities is based on a formula that is reflective of their overall research performance.
More details of the program could be obtained from

Please let me know if you need more details in this regard.
Best regards,
