澳大利亚国立大学研究型高等学位(HDR)学生津贴增加啦!

9月16日,澳大利亚国立大学校长Brian Schmidt教授宣布从2022年10月起将在读博士生和其他就读研究型高等学生(以下简称HDR学生)助学津贴提高20%。

从 2022 年 10 月 1 日起,澳大利亚国立大学将相应提高一些津贴的基础比例并补足原本低于该比例的部分, 一些津贴的时限会被增长,另外,相应人群的育儿假规定也将有所改变。

Brian校长称,澳国立将增加博士(和其他 HDR)津贴,把津贴的最低额度从 28.854 澳元提高到 34.000 澳元,以帮助学生获得更好的生活体验。

虽然大学的财政状况仍然非常紧张,但澳国立高级管理小组强烈认为,鉴于博士生的生活成本压力,坚持基本的政府津贴金额已不再合乎情理。作为一个国家,我们希望最优秀、最聪明的学生坚持进行研究,这对社会的好处是不可估量的。因此校长提倡,如果澳大利亚希望那些最优秀和最聪明的人攻读博士学位,政府将需要提高基本博士津贴率。

校长博客原文如下:

“I am pleased to announce today that we are increasing immediately the PhD (and other HDR) stipend to help our students better make ends meet. We will raise the minimum PhD stipend from $28.854 to $34.000. This new pay rate will be paid starting in October. The University's financial position remains very tight, and we will run a very large deficit this year, but the Senior Management Group felt strongly that it was no longer ethical to stick to the underlying government stipend amount given the cost of living pressures on our PhD students. As a nation, we want the best and brightest students to undertake research and the benefits to society are immeasurable. I am advocating at the highest levels that, if Australia wants some of our best and brightest to undertake PhDs, the Government will need to raise the base PhD stipend rate.
