Former University of Melbourne
Provost and emeritus professor of
history Peter McPhee is so passionate
about supporting students he set
up his own scholarship. The Peter
McPhee Student Awards provide cash
support to outstanding applicants in
the University’s Student Engagement
Grants program, which encourages
students to contribute to the local,
national or international community
by following their passions.
“I’ve always wanted to encourage
students to make the most of their
university years, not only in terms of
their own academic experiences, but
also to think about ways in which they
can contribute back to the communities
from which they come.”

WITH YOU ALL
THE WAY
When you accept your place at the
University of Melbourne, you’ll be
joining a community of exceptional
people who believe in the power of
collaboration and mutual support.
Whether our passions lie in physics
or performance, the one thing we all
believe in at Melbourne is advancing the
boundaries of what’s possible. And we
can only do that together. That’s why the
Melbourne Scholarships Program is one
of the most generous and comprehensive
in Australia.
There is a wide range of scholarships
listed here, and it is worth reading through
the eligibility criteria for each. You may
be surprised at what you can apply for!
There are scholarships for domestic and
international students; scholarships
awarded on merit only and some that take
financial need into account; some to help
you stay here in Melbourne, and some
to help you travel the globe. There are
scholarships that support your whole course
or help you explore a specific interest.
Wherever you are, and whatever your
passion, with a Melbourne scholarship
you can turn ambition into achievement.
95% of Melbourne students
continue their studies beyond their
first year – consistently more than
at any other university in Australia

GRANTS, BURSARIES
AND PRIZES
In addition to our scholarships, we offer many
prizes, grants and bursaries that can help you
get the most out of your time at university.
Grants are available to undertake
volunteering or leadership activities.
Excel in your studies and you could
pick up a coveted prize for academic
achievement. Bursaries are available
for a variety of needs and can ease the
financial pressures of uni so you can
focus on your studies.
Many student bursaries have been
established by generous bequests and
donations to assist students in financial
need. The University awards over 500
one-off bursary payments per year,
varying from $200 to $10 000.
To be considered for these grants, you
must provide evidence of financial need,
and submit an online Student Financial
Assessment.
Doug Brumley was awarded a string of
scholarships during his University of Melbourne
studies and believes success breeds success.
Doug won several awards during his Bachelor
of Science honours degree, including support
from Newman College. These paved the way to
the prestigious Gates Cambridge Scholarship
that supported him through his PhD overseas —
and helped him land his dream job as a lecturer
in applied mathematics back at Melbourne!
Doug can now show his students that
accumulating awards is a great boost for your
confidence and your CV.
“Scholarships like these encouraged me to
push even further. Working hard for a string of
scholarships from the University of Melbourne
can help you present yourself well.”
Doug’s Melbourne awards include:
• Melbourne National Scholarship
• Dean’s Prize (Faculty of Science)
• Dwight Prize in Physics
• Department of Mathematics and
Statistics Summer Vacation Scholarship
• Professor Nanson Prize
(Mathematics and Statistics)
