Scholarships in Australia
The majority of international students in Australia pay full fees for their studies, However, there are a number of scholarships available to assist students with the cost of their education.
A scholarship may cover the full cost or a portion of your tuition fees or cover other costs such as accommodation or living expenses.
The scholarship search allows you to view a range of scholarship available to international students. It is important to read through eligibility criteria carefully to make sure you include everything that is required — you may need to supply supporting documents, such as academic transcripts or a personal statement.
Some scholarships are automatically awarded to students based on their academic results and do not require students to fill out an application. While it is a good idea to apply for scholarships, you should not rest all your hopes on receiving a scholarship, keeping in mind that most international student scholarships are based on academic merit and are very competitive.
