Course Brief

YOUR MPhil IS NOT THE FINISH LINE. YOUR FUNDING-READY PhD PROFILE IS.

Dear MPhil Holder,

After more than a decade of studying graduate funding across the USA, Canada, Australia, Europe and beyond, our discovery is clear:

Graduate Funding Isn't Scarce. Funding-Ready Applicants Are.

You have an MPhil. But an MPhil alone does not make you funding-ready for a PhD.

Ask yourself:

“Why should a university, department or professor in the USA, Canada or Australia fund my PhD?”

The answer is in becoming funding-ready before you apply—building a funding-ready profile and developing funding-ready application documents that clearly demonstrate why you are prepared for doctoral study and worthy of consideration for funding.

The first step is to understand where your profile currently stands in relation to funded PhD opportunities.

What does your profile already have?

Where are the gaps?

What do you need to build?

Before you apply. Before you contact professors. Before you write your SOP.

Know Where You Stand.

That's where the Free Graduate Funding Readiness Assessment comes in.

Your assessment will show you where you are now, the gaps in your profile, and what you need to build to become funding-ready.
