Can I submit my application via post?
We recommend that you use the Endeavour Online Application system as this will
ensure completed applications reach us by the closing date. We recommend that you
submit your application as early as possible due to the large volume of users on the
system on the final opening days of application.
If you do not have reliable internet access and are unable to apply online, you can
request a hardcopy application form by sending an email stating the reason you are
unable to apply online and the Award you wish to apply for

forms will not be accepted.
What happens if my application is late?
The Endeavour Online Application system will not allow you to work on your application
after the closing date. Incomplete or late applications will not be accepted.
I have been charged an application processing fee by the university. Can I be
reimbursed?
No. The application processing fee is determined by the institution and DEEWR does
not have any involvement in this process.
Can I apply for more than one Endeavour Award category?
Yes. You need to submit a separate Endeavour Online Application for each Endeavour
Award you wish to apply for and meet the eligibility requirements for each Award.
You must use the same email address for each Endeavour Award you apply for. Please
do not apply for more than one Endeavour Award of the same category using different
email addresses.
How can I be sure that I have submitted all the required supporting documents
with my application?
The Endeavour Online Application system will not allow you to submit your application
unless your application is complete, with all required supporting documents uploaded.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your supporting documents meet the Award

Can I have my application returned to me?
Once you submit your Endeavour Online Application you cannot make changes or add
extra supporting documents to your application. You can preview and print a copy of
your application at anytime. Please refer to the Step by Step Guide to using the
Endeavour Online Application System.
Applications and supporting documents received by post will not be returned.
Will successful and unsuccessful applicants be notified of the outcome of the
Endeavour Awards?
Yes. Both unsuccessful and successful applicants will be notified of the outcome via
email once the selection process is completed.
I applied for an Endeavour Award in a previous round. Can I re-use my
application for the current round?
No. Applications can only be used once. If you wish to apply for another round, you
must start a new application.
When can I start my Endeavour Award?
If you are successful, you must start your Endeavour Award and approved program in
the year for which it was granted. You must start your Award between 1 January and
30 November 2012 for the main round and 1 July and 30 November 2012 for the

host institutions, what do I do?
You are able to type this in manually by placing your cursor into the box and manually
type it in.
What are my chances of receiving an Endeavour Award?
The Endeavour Awards are merit-based and very competitive. You need to ensure you
meet all the eligibility requirements and complete the application form correctly. You
must submit your application with all the required supporting documents, by the closing
date.
Eligible applications are assessed against the selection criteria by the selection panel.
Please refer to the Selection Criteria for each Award in the Applicant Guidelines.
What are the success rates and number of Awards available?
Endeavour Awards is the Australian Government's internationally competitive, merit-
based scholarship program. Currently we offer around 500-600 Awards per year
however this number varies annually depending upon our budget, levels of demand and
the number of meritorious applications received for each category.
While we do publish the names of successful candidates, we do not publish application
data or success rates as we believe that this is not a true indicator of success given the
number and quality of applications varies significantly each year. We would also not like
it to discourage high calibre applicants from applying.
Who owns the Intellectual Property of my research program?
Intellectual Property (IP) rights will depend on the policy of the host organisation, any IP
laws of the home country and any agreement which may have been negotiated between
the Award Holder and the host organisation.
The Australian Government does not require or request copies of any research material,
and does not wish to maintain any IP rights. If the Australian Government does procure
copies of this material and uses it in some way, it must have a license to do so. This
would be negotiated in a license agreement between the owner of the IP rights, i.e. the
student or the host organisation and the Australian Government. In addition, wherever
any work is reproduced, the creator of the work must be identified.
If an Award Holder has further concerns, they should seek independent legal advice
about the ownership and IP rights for any research material.

international students than for domestic students.
