Application Guide
Our Scholarships Program provides significant financial and academic
support to study with us at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
There are hundreds of scholarships on offer. Selection is based on criteria such as academic
merit, financial need, area of study, sporting ability and musical talent.
For those in need of support to study, you’ll automatically be accessed as part of your course
application. This includes scholarships that help with relocation, living costs, and accommodation.
For high-achieving students interested in merit-based or diversity scholarships, you’ll need
to make an application by following the steps in this guide.
Scholarships are available for domestic students, as well as international students who have
either completed Years 11 and 12 in Australia, or who have completed their first semester
of degree study in Australia.
