The title of this Policy, and the Scholarships, has been changed to acknowledge the funding source - "Australian Government'. The use of the acronym "AGRTP" to identify these scholarships is consistent through the HE sector, and has been amended throughout the Policy. AGRTP-Indigenous scholarships have now been adopted within the Policy. The Department of Education notified the University of the outcome of its audit process to ensure our Policy was consistent with the legislation. A number of minor amendments were required in response to this notification, specifically clauses 17, 18 (b) ii, and 45. Minor changes have submitted by the Research Office to provide more clarity to students on the provisions of the Scholarships, for example: clauses 22, 23 - leave entitlements clauses 43,44 - variations to Scholarships Approved by Academic Senate 18/101
