I'm planning on applying to undergraduate programs at Australian universities and would like to know about scholarships available for international students. What types of scholarships can international undergrads access in Australia?
Many Australian universities offer scholarships specifically aimed at international students. These scholarships can be academic merit-based, means-tested for financial need, or occasionally even talent-based for areas like music or athletics. In addition, some universities offer scholarships specifically for students from certain regions or countries.
1. The University of Sydney International Scholarships: These scholarships cover full or partial tuition fees for undergraduate degrees for high-achieving international students.
2. The University of Melbourne International Undergraduate Scholarship: This scholarship has a 25% remission from tuition fees for one or more years of the undergraduate degree for students with strong academic merit.
3. Monash University International Merit Scholarships: These scholarships are awarded to high-achieving international students in various undergraduate fields. They provide a $10,000 per annum stipend till the minimum points for the degree are completed.
4. Macquarie University International Scholarships: The scholarships here range from partial to full coverage of tuition fees for high-achieving international students in various fields of study.
5. The University of Adelaide Global Citizens Scholarship: This scholarship provides a reduction of between 15% and 30% of the tuition fee per annum for the minimum standard full-time duration of the scholar's chosen undergraduate degree.
Remember to look up the specific scholarship eligibility criteria, deadlines, and the application process on the university's website. Most Australian schools require you to first apply and be accepted into the undergraduate program before you can apply for a scholarship. Some scholarships may also require a separate application, while others may be awarded based on your university application. I hope this helps and best of luck with your applications!
