I'd love to go to the University of Melbourne, but the financial aspect worries me. Can anyone share details about scholarships available for international students there?
Absolutely, the University of Melbourne does offer a number of scholarships to international students. Here are a few key ones:
1. Melbourne International Undergraduate Scholarship: This scholarship is only available to high-achieving international students in recognition of their excellent academic results. This is a very competitive scholarship providing a 25% fee remission for the duration of the course.
2. International Undergraduate Partner Scholarships: These are for students who have completed an approved Year 12 program in Australia and are applying for an undergraduate degree. They offer a 50% fee remission for the duration of the course.
3. Human Rights Scholarship: The Human Rights Scholarship is for students undertaking graduate research training at the University and whose research is human rights-focused. The scholarship provides a fortnightly allowance of AUD$42,000 per year for up to two years for students undertaking a Master by research degree and up to 3.5 years for students undertaking a doctoral degree.
Please note that eligibility and selection criteria vary for each scholarship. The number of scholarships offered each year also can vary. I would advise checking the university's official website or getting in touch with their international student services for the most up-to-date and detailed information.
