No, you can choose to receive both payments during the period of your internship when it is paid as a stipend. You'll need to check that the internship stipend payment does not exceed 75% of your base RTP scholarship.
Or you can elect to suspend your scholarship payments while receiving a paid research internship stipend from UWA, for example via an advertised research internship through APR Intern, iPREP Biodesign. 
  1. Review the conditions of your scholarship and consider tax implications.
  2. Submit your fully executed research internship agreement in HDRhub via the Confirm REUE tab.
  • Login to HDRhub
  • Under Development, click Research end user engagement tab
  • Click Confirm REUE tab and complete the fields, upload your documents, and save.
  • When UWA is paying the internship stipend, complete the payment form and email us.
