Application to Extend Living Allowance Scholarship
Important Information for Candidates and Supervisors
Australian Postgraduate Awards, Tasmania Graduate Research Scholarships and some other scholarships
administered by the Graduate Research Office include a possible 6 month EFT extension for PhD candidates. If
available, the extension provision will be contained in your scholarship conditions. Please check that you are
eligible for extension prior to submitting an application.
Extensions can only be granted on the basis of research that has been delayed due to circumstances which are
beyond the candidate's control and are related to the conduct of the research rather than of a personal nature.
Your application must address the following criteria:




the nature of the issue causing the delay;
the extent to which the issue was outside the control of the candidate;
the point of time at which the issue was identified and discussed with the supervision team; and
the action taken to address the issues at the time they were first identified.
Your application must also include a completion plan with appropriate timelines and defined milestones up to
submission of your thesis for examination.
Please note that this is an application process. The details you provide in your application must meet the
requirements in order for it to be approved. This is outlined in your scholarship conditions.
 This form must be submitted to the Graduate Research Office four weeks prior to the expiry date of your

scholarship. It is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure the application is received within the above
timeframe.
The Dean of Graduate Research reserves the right to request additional information - this request will be
sent to your UTAS email account. The application cannot be finalised until requested information is provided.
This may delay the outcome of your application.
Failure to provide accurate information may affect the outcome of future applications.
The outcome of your application will be sent to your UTAS email account. All candidates need to check their
UTAS email account regularly.
Submission of this form does not constitute approval of the application.
Candidates on scholarship are advised that any scholarship overpayment must be repaid. Your payments
will cease and the Dean of Graduate Research will not consider your application until the overpayment has
been rectified.
Completion Plans
Completion Plans should be developed by the candidate and the supervisor(s). Plans should detail the actions
required for completion of the thesis and who is responsible for these tasks. This includes the thesis structure,
completed tasks, tasks still to be completed, timelines for submission of draft chapters and due dates for
supervisor feedback. Plans should also advise any periods of leave expected to be taken by the candidate or the
supervisor(s).
