Major items to consider Airline / industry scholarships (big impact on accommodation/costs but limited): e.g., Qantas Academy diversity scholarships (female & First Nations focused, support for accommodation up to amounts stated). University scholarships for aviation degrees (larger dollar amounts, e.g., Destination Australia via universities such as RMIT). Example: RMIT’s Destination Australia scholarship offers up to AUD 15,000 per year for the Bachelor of Aviation (Pilot Training) for eligible students. This is a major pathway for international students who choose a university degree + flying training. Provider / RTO scholarships & training credits: many flight schools offer small scholarships/credits (e.g., Learn To Fly provides ~$3,000 training credit scholarships for overseas students meeting their criteria). These are useful for partial cost relief. Industry & not-for-profit bursaries (Flying Start, Air Pilots Australia, local aero club scholarships) — ranges vary and usually cover a block of flying hours or instrument training rather than full programmes.   Selected scholarships (details & eligibility) Qantas Group Pilot Academy Scholarships Who: targeted equity-based scholarships — historically aimed at increasing diversity (female cadets and Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander cadets). What they cover: support for accommodation and living costs (Qantas noted scholarships worth up to ~AU$30,000 for accommodation/food for academy attendees — tuition is generally additional). Number of scholarships and target groups were increased in recent initiatives. How to apply: monitor the Qantas Pilot Academy pages and FAQs; applications are time-limited and often require selection tasks and an aptitude/fitness process. RMIT / Destination Australia (for Bachelor of Aviation) Who: international students enrolling in eligible regional courses (Destination Australia is government funded but administered by universities). Value: AUD 15,000 per year for Bachelor of Aviation (Pilot Training) (amounts vary by course and year). How to apply: apply to RMIT (or another participating uni) and the scholarship through uni scholarship portals; check eligibility (residency, study load, course enrolment). CAE — Women in Flight & other CAE awards Who: CAE programs sometimes offer gender-focused scholarships and awards (Women in Flight) and other targeted grants. These can cover specific training modules/ratings. How: check CAE’s “Become a pilot” / scholarships page; applications often require motivation statements. Learn To Fly (provider scholarships / training credit) Who: Learn To Fly Melbourne offers small scholarships (examples: AUD 3,000 training credit) for overseas students already enrolled in their diploma programmes (or meeting set milestones). Good for partial cost reduction. Community / aero club & NGO scholarships Organisations like Flying Start, Air Pilots Australia, local aero clubs and foundations occasionally offer hour-based scholarships (e.g., funding for first 20 flight hours, instrument training credits). These are competitive and require local nominations or applications.   Eligibility & application tips for scholarships Typical eligibility: academic record, English language competence, medical fitness (Class 1/2 aviation medical for flying), visa status (must be eligible to study full time), and sometimes residency or diversity criteria. Airline scholarships often include aptitude assessment and interviews. Documents to prepare: CV, personal statement (why aviation, career plans), academic transcripts, English scores (IELTS/TOEFL if required), references, evidence of finances if the scholarship is partial. For university scholarships, also attach offer letter/CRICOS course code. Medical & background checks: many scholarships require you to pass CASA medicals and police checks — get these done early if possible. Application tips: show commitment to aviation, outline clear career pathway (how the scholarship enables airline entry), include team/community work (airlines like leadership/community engagement), and highlight any prior flying/related experience.   Recent developments & cautions (must know) Policy & market risk: there have been federal discussions about caps on overseas student enrolments which could affect capacity and places for international students — this has created industry concern. Always verify current government rules and how they impact CRICOS quotas for providers. Provider failures: there have been notable collapses of some flight schools in recent years; check latest financial/operational status, student protection measures, and refunds/tuition assurance before paying large deposits.   Practical next steps — a checklist for you Shortlist 3 providers (one big academy, one university pathway, one regional school). Check scholarships on each provider’s scholarship page and university scholarship portals (RMIT/CAE/Qantas). Save deadlines. Prepare documents: transcript, IELTS/English evidence, CV, statement, medical (start CASA medical process early). Check living costs & accommodation (academy campuses vs private renting). Qantas Academy offers on-site housing for many cadets. Ask for a pre-enrolment Q&A with the provider (ask refund policy, training schedule, fleet availability, job placement rates).

New Colombo Plan: Provides international exposure opportunities (specific to Australian students — international students can join ANU but must be aware of eligibility). Many external scholarships require early application directly with the sponsor organisation — ANU provides support and endorsement letters once awarded.   Tips to Maximise Your Chances Apply early: Most scholarships have rolling rounds and are assessed shortly after admission is confirmed. Focus on academic excellence: Merit-based awards often require top-tier grades, strong references, and research proposals. Submit a strong research proposal: For PhD/Research scholarships, the research proposal is often the deciding factor. Engage with faculty: Contact your prospective supervisor early — some scholarships are linked to specific research projects. Avoid fake offers: ANU cautions students against third-party “scholarship agencies” offering “guaranteed” grants for a fee.

Keep evidence for special categories (e.g., diplomatic visa) if applying for those scholarships. Save screenshots / PDFs of the scholarship pages that apply to you (for reference during application). Set calendar reminders for application deadlines and for lodging documents required to convert any conditional offer to unconditional.   Tips to maximise your chances Apply to eligible scholarships early — many merit scholarships are awarded at offer stage. Highlight academic distinctions clearly (GPA, awards, rank in class) on any application form or statement. If a scholarship requires leadership or community activity, give specific examples with measurable outcomes. Keep your application concise and evidence-led — statements of no more than 500–800 words that directly answer selection criteria are usually most effective. For Curtin Malaysia / Dubai applicants, use the campus PDF/guides: they sometimes list exact percentage reductions and grade cutoffs.

See the general scholarship list.   Eligibility criteria (common) While each scholarship has its specific criteria, common eligibility requirements for most of the major international scholarships include: You must be an international student (i.e., a person who is not an Australian or New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident). You must be commencing a first time course at Swinburne’s Hawthorn campus (for that scholarship) — meaning you have not previously studied the same level at Swinburne.

You must not already be in receipt of a Swinburne tuition fee scholarship or reduced fee arrangement at the same time. Swinburne will apply the most favourable arrangement. The scholarship applies only to tuition fees. It does not cover other fees such as practicum/clinical training fees, Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), or other non-tuition costs.   Additional/Specific criteria Some scholarships exclude particular courses (as noted above: e.g., nursing, aviation & piloting, certain double degrees, certain postgraduate health-courses). For the ELICOS+ scholarship: you must not satisfy the English language requirement of your main course, hence requiring ELICOS first. For pathway scholarships: you must be entering via pathway (Foundation, UniLink etc) at Hawthorn for the first time. Although automatic in many cases, you should still check for “general scholarships” that may require a separate application.   Things to keep in mind (tips for you) Since you’re an international student (based in India), make sure you choose the correct intake (semester), check that your chosen course is eligible (some are excluded from major scholarships). Apply early: The higher value scholarships (e.g., 30% off) often have limited places. Keep records of your academic results, certificates, proof of English language proficiency etc — even though separate scholarship applications may not be required, you will need these for your main course offer. Understand the ongoing scholarship conditions: Some scholarships require you to maintain full-time study, maintain satisfactory academic progress, and not hold other fee-scholarships. The Reddit thread indicates you must maintain “academic good standing” and full-time enrolment unless formally reduced. The scholarship only covers tuition fees. It does not cover living costs, overseas student health cover, nor other non-tuition items. Budget accordingly. Always check the exclusions for your course (e.g., if you are studying nursing or aviation or a specific health course, some scholarships may not apply). Even if you’re not successful for the major automatic scholarships, look at Swinburne’s broader scholarship list (industry, partner, faculty) as there may be separate application opportunities.

At a glance — the main international scholarships you should know Vice-Chancellor International Scholarship (Go Beyond) — 50% tuition reduction for high-achieving international students (undergrad and coursework postgrad). Competitive; shortlisted applicants may be asked for a video submission. Eligibility: typically ATAR ≈95+ (or international equivalent) for undergrads, ~6.5 GPA+ for postgrads; open to new, full-fee paying international students. Kickstart Scholarship — 20% tuition for eligible new international students for certain intakes (e.g., Semester 2, 2025 and subsequent intakes listed on the page). Check current intake availability and eligible programs on the Kickstart page. Flinders International Research Scholarship (FIPRS) — for Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students; covers international tuition fees + stipend (living allowance). Limited number offered each year — highly competitive. (Flinders publishes HDR/international fact sheets with stipend rates and inclusions.) Australian Government RTP scholarships + Flinders HDR scholarships — international HDR applicants may also be eligible for Commonwealth (RTP/AGRTP) scholarships where applicable; Flinders’ HDR fact sheet summarizes what each award covers (tuition, living allowance, relocation allowance, OSHC for some). High School / International High School Scholarships — awards that recognise high-performing international students coming from an Australian high-school curriculum (or recognized equivalent); details available on Flinders’ high-school scholarship page. Faculty, donor and region-specific scholarships — Flinders publishes many additional awards (faculty scholarships, donor funds, region-targeted scholarships and small travel/short-term grants). Use the Flinders scholarship search and the Scholarships pages to filter by eligibility.   Who is typically eligible (common patterns) International (full-fee paying) student status: most international scholarships exclude Australian citizens, NZ citizens and Australian permanent residents — they are for overseas fee-paying students. Commencing students: many scholarships are for new students only (i.e., you’re applying to start at Flinders), though some HDR awards and a small number of donor awards may also be open to continuing students. Mode of study: most awards require on-campus, full-time enrolment at an eligible Flinders course (check each award’s Conditions/Terms). Academic merit: most major awards (Vice-Chancellor, High School scholarships) are merit-based and use your most recent qualification (e.g., Year 12, bachelor GPA) as the selection metric. Specific minimums are published per award. Research awards: HDR scholarships (FIPRS / AG-RTP) require an offer into an eligible research program and are very competitive — selection is based on research potential, prior academic performance, referee reports and supervisor support.   What scholarships cover (typical inclusions) Tuition fee reduction or full tuition waiver (e.g., 50% Vice-Chancellor scholarship; HDR scholarships cover tuition). Living allowance (stipend) for HDR recipients — Flinders’ 2025 HDR fact sheet lists the living allowance (e.g., the 2025 rate shown is around $35,010 pa for some scholarships) and relocation support. Confirm the current year’s stipend in the HDR fact sheet. Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) and relocation assistance — included for certain HDR scholarships (check the Conditions of Award for each scholarship).   Documents you’ll usually need (prepare these early) Certified copies of transcripts (secondary + tertiary where applicable) and English translations if not in English. Proof of identity and passport (citizenship). Evidence of prior study (e.g., ATAR, IB results, bachelor transcript and GPA). CV / resume and reference contacts (for research scholarships). Personal statement / scholarship essay responses and any required video submission (Vice-Chancellor shortlist). Offer letter or application ID for the Flinders program you are applying to (if already applied).   Important fine print & behaviour rules (read the Conditions!) Limited places: flagship scholarships are limited in number and highly competitive (e.g., FIPRS has few awards; Vice-Chancellor is competitive). Apply early and prepare a strong application. Performance & enrolment conditions: recipients often must maintain satisfactory academic progress and full-time enrolment; failure may lead to suspension or termination of the scholarship. No double-dipping: many scholarship rules prevent stacking awards such that the combined benefit exceeds tuition or what’s permitted — check the Conditions for rules about holding multiple scholarships.   Deadlines & timing (how to track) Flinders publishes individual opening/closing dates per scholarship. Some awards (e.g., Kickstart) list specific intakes (Semester 2 2025, Semester 1 2026 etc.); others may be rolling or annual. Always check the live scholarship page or the scholarship search tool for current dates.   Top tips to improve your chances Apply early for your Flinders course — many awards auto-assess early applicants. Show strong academic evidence (high grades, class rank, IB/ATAR equivalents). Merit is the primary filter for major awards. For Vice-Chancellor / competitive scholarships: prepare an excellent personal statement and practice the potential video submission — highlight leadership, impact, and how you will contribute to Flinders and your field. For HDR applicants: contact potential supervisors early; a supportive supervisor and strong research proposal improve selection chances.

MCT Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology (MCT RGIT), Mumbai, offers a range of scholarships and financial assistance options for international students. While the institute primarily focuses on engineering and technology programs, international students can access both government-sponsored schemes and institute-level merit-based scholarships. 1. Government-Sponsored Scholarships International students, particularly those of Indian origin or NRIs, may be eligible for government-funded scholarships through Maharashtra state schemes or central Indian programs. These include: AICTE Scholarships: The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) provides scholarships for eligible students studying under Indian schemes. These scholarships are generally merit-based and sometimes linked to financial need. State Government Scholarships: Students belonging to reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC/NT/VJ/SBC) may apply through Maharashtra government portals such as the MAHADBT portal. These scholarships can cover tuition and other educational expenses fully or partially. JNIESTRT Scholarship: Offered to students under special categories including children of frontline workers, this scholarship provides financial support ranging from INR 10,000 to INR 50,000 per year. National Scholarships for Postgraduate Studies: Managed by the University Grants Commission (UGC), this program supports first-time postgraduate students under 30 years of age in full-time UGC-recognized programs with stipends or tuition assistance. Tip: NRI or foreign students with Indian parentage may still qualify for these scholarships if they have a valid domicile certificate or are admitted under Indian quota categories.   2. Institute-Level and Merit-Based Scholarships MCT RGIT also provides merit-cum-means scholarships for international students who demonstrate strong academic performance. Selection is typically based on entrance exam scores (such as MHT-CET or JEE Main) or prior academic excellence. Benefits may include partial tuition fee waivers, usually up to 25% of the program fee, which are renewable annually based on academic performance. International students from minority or global backgrounds can also apply for special category scholarships, which provide partial fee waivers depending on eligibility. Renewal generally requires maintaining a minimum GPA and verification of continued eligibility.   3. Eligibility and Application Requirements To apply for most scholarships, international students must first secure admission at MCT RGIT. Common documentation requirements include: Certified copies of previous academic transcripts (10th, 12th, or undergraduate as applicable). Passport, visa, or OCI/NRI documentation (particularly for Indian-origin students). Proof of family income or salary certificate. Proof of category for reserved or special scholarships (if applicable). Applications for scholarships are usually submitted through official portals such as the MAHADBT portal (MAH scholarships) or the National Scholarship Portal (NSP). Some institute-level scholarships may require additional documents or forms, which the MCT RGIT admission office can guide you through.   4. Key Points for International Students Most scholarships combine merit and financial need as eligibility criteria. Reserved category or Indian-origin students often receive the most significant tuition support. Direct financial aid from MCT RGIT itself is limited, but the institute helps international students navigate government scholarship applications. Postgraduate students often have access to more substantial UGC and college-level scholarships. Scholarships are typically renewable annually, subject to maintaining academic performance and providing updated financial or eligibility documents.

Scholarships for research / higher degree by research (HDR) international students “International Tuition Fee Scholarships” for international applicants enrolling in research degrees (MPhil/PhD) at RMIT in Australia. Cover tuition fees (and perhaps other support) subject to eligibility. The RMIT website also emphasises that HDR scholarships are competitive and have specific rules (see “International Tuition Fee Scholarships – eligibility” page) for international students. C. Bursaries / special awards / English-language course bursaries RMIT also offers bursaries for students taking English language (ELICOS) or pathway courses: e.g., “RMIT English Language Bursary for Asia” and “Bursary for Latin American students” are referenced. Also external sponsorship / government scholarships may be listed via RMIT’s “External Scholarships (Sponsorship)” page.   Key eligibility criteria & requirements Here are the most important eligibility and application rules you must check. Note: each scholarship has its own terms, so you should always check the scholarship-specific page. General requirements You must be an international student, i.e., you are not an Australian citizen or eligible domestic student; usually you must hold (or plan to apply for) a valid student visa. Eg: “an international student holding a valid student visa or plan to apply for a student visa prior to program commencement”. You must enrol full-time in your program (for most scholarships) at RMIT (unless exceptional circumstances apply). From the “International Scholarships Terms and Conditions” page: to receive a scholarship you must be enrolled full?time in a program of study at RMIT. You must meet entry requirements for the program you are being offered (offer letter) – many scholarships require you to have an unconditional or conditional offer by scholarship closing date. Eg: for research scholarships: “you must have been offered a program place that is not conditional on meeting English language requirements … or you must provide evidence of English language proficiency … before the application closing date of the scholarship round.” English language proficiency: International students must meet the English language requirement of the program, and in many cases by the scholarship application closing date. Academic merit: Many scholarships specify minimum grades, GPA or equivalent performance in previous studies. Eg: The Academic Merit Scholarship (SE Asia) requires an Australian equivalent GPA of 2.5 or 70 % average or ATAR 75 in the qualifying qualification.   Specific eligibility examples Here are two detailed examples: Academic Merit Scholarship – Southeast Asia: Eligibility: Citizen of Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste or Vietnam Applying offshore from those countries International student visa or plan to apply Offer letter (full or conditional) to commence specified programs (Vocational Education, Associate Degree, Bachelor’s, Graduate Certificate/Diploma or Masters by Coursework) Not an existing RMIT student at same level (ELICOS or Foundation may qualify after completion) Minimum grade: GPA equivalent 2.5 or 70% average or ATAR 75.

Applicant must meet English-language requirements by closing date. Full-time enrolment is expected (unless special circumstances) and scholarship cannot be deferred in most cases.   Conditions of award & continuing eligibility You must maintain active enrolment and full-time status (unless formally approved for reduced load) to continue to receive the scholarship. If you reduce your study load without approval your scholarship may be terminated or suspended. If you defer the commencement beyond the scholarship start period, you may lose eligibility (or may need to re-apply next year). Usually the scholarship applies for the duration of the eligible program(s) as stated in your offer letter. Changing program or withdrawing may affect the award. For example the Academic Merit Scholarship – Southeast Asia states the 20% tuition reduction is for the “duration of eligible program(s)* as outlined in your offer letter”.   How to apply & important steps Here’s a general application-process summary for international student scholarships at RMIT: Choose your program at RMIT: Apply for the course (Foundation, Undergraduate, Postgraduate, or Research) you are interested in at RMIT. You’ll need to receive an offer (full or conditional) in many cases. Check if your program qualifies for the scholarship: Some scholarships only apply to certain levels or courses (e.g., Bachelor, Master by Coursework, not Master by Research) or to certain nationalities/regions. Check the scholarship page for application process & deadlines: Some are automatic (i.e., you don’t need a separate application; the scholarship is awarded based on your admission and timing) — for example the Academic Merit Scholarship – Southeast Asia says “No scholarship application is required”. RMIT University Others require you to submit a separate expression of interest (EOI) or application form (for example Foundation Academic Scholarship). Ensure you meet the eligibility criteria before the closing date: This includes academic performance, nationality/residency, visa status, English proficiency, study load. Accept the offer and pay deposit: Some scholarships require you to accept your RMIT offer and pay a deposit within a certain timeframe. Example: Academic Merit Scholarship – Southeast Asia: “you must accept your offer and make a deposit payment within 14 days from the date of offer letter”. Maintain enrolment and performance: Once awarded, you must continue to meet the conditions (full-time study, program duration, academic progression) through your study. Check the terms & conditions: Always read the specific scholarship’s Terms & Conditions page, which governs things like deferral, program change, study load, outside funding, etc.   What to watch out for / tips for you Deadlines matter: Some scholarships are first-come, first served. For example the Academic Merit Scholarship states “limited availability and will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis”. RMIT University So it’s best to apply as early as possible. Offer letter must often accompany scholarship eligibility: Make sure you have applied for your course and received (or will receive) your offer by the scholarship closing date. Check whether you need a separate application or if it is automatic: Some scholarships require you to submit an Expression of Interest; others might be automatic if you meet criteria. Study load & program change issues: If you reduce your study load, defer your intake, or change your program level materially, you may lose your scholarship. Always check the T&Cs English language requirement: Some scholarships require you to have satisfied the English language requirement by the scholarship’s closing date (especially for research scholarships). Nationality/region restrictions: Several scholarships are region-specific (for example Southeast Asia, Indian Subcontinent). If you’re from a different region/country you’ll need to check what’s available. Program level/disciplines matter: Some scholarships exclude certain programs (for example the Academic Merit Scholarship – Southeast Asia excludes Associate Degree in Aviation (Professional Pilots) and Bachelor of Aviation (Pilot Training)). Integrate the scholarship into your planning: If you receive a scholarship (say a 20% tuition reduction), you’ll still need to plan for the remaining tuition, living costs, visa, OSHC (Overseas Student Health Cover) and other expenses. Keep up online: Scholarships may open/close each year; values and criteria may change. Always refer to the official RMIT website for the latest details. Explore research scholarships early: If you’re considering a Master by Research or PhD, these tend to be more competitive — prepare your research proposal and academic record in advance.

Official Stanley College scholarship page (overview only). The college’s Scholarships & Financial Assistance area confirms Stanley runs scholarship schemes and financial assistance for students — but the page is largely an overview rather than a catalogue of named, high-value international awards. That means many scholarships are either: (a) small/targeted; (b) promotional/limited-time; or (c) managed through Faculty/Student Services rather than published as permanent, high-value international awards. Promotional fee / special offers are used frequently. Stanley publishes promotional fee schedules / offers for onshore international applicants (limited windows for applications to get promotional fees). These promotions can act like discounts or short-term scholarships (check the PDF flyers and special promotion pages for the exact dates and course list). If you see a “promotional fee” or “limited time offer” it’s real money off the advertised fee. VET Student Loans / domestic financial support (not for most international students). The college provides information about VET Student Loans and fee-help style programs — these are for eligible domestic students. International students are not eligible for VET Student Loans; this is important because some external guides confuse domestic loan schemes with international scholarships. Student Services & faculty schemes handle most scholarship offers. The college’s About and Student Support pages explicitly say staff support students with “financial assistance via scholarship schemes” — but the detail is handled case-by-case (for example: hardship support, small merit awards, or targeted regional sponsorships). That means your best route to discover/secure a Stanley scholarship is direct contact (official email/agent) with Stanley’s Student Services or the Faculty that runs your course. Third-party directories show scholarship listings but often repeat generic or outdated offers. Aggregator sites (UniScholars, WeMakeScholars, etc.) list “Stanley College scholarships” — many are generic or third-party scholarship databases and not authoritative. Use the college site and direct Student Services contact as the source of truth.   Practical implications for international applicants Do not expect a guaranteed large full-tuition international scholarship like those sometimes offered by big public universities. Stanley’s support model is more pragmatic: promotional fee discounts, smaller merit awards, and case-based assistance. You can sometimes get meaningful savings through: promotional fees for specific intakes, early-application discounts, or targeted small scholarships — these can materially lower your cost if you time your application carefully. Eligibility & application vary — some scholarships are automatic (applied when you submit a correct, on-time application), some require a separate application to Student Services, and some are awarded internally by faculties or on the basis of financial hardship. Always check the specific course promotion page or contact the college.   Documents & eligibility regularly required (summary) Valid passport/ID and proof of citizenship. Certified academic transcripts (translated to English where needed). Proof of English proficiency (IELTS, PTE, TOEFL), unless exempt. Evidence of prior study (if merit-based scholarships require GPA/WAM thresholds). Statement of purpose / CV (sometimes requested). Evidence of financial hardship (if applying for hardship support). These are standard items — exact requirements depend on the specific scholarship or promotion.

Merit-based; can be a fixed tuition reduction (example: up to A$3,000 off tuition for standard duration). Swinburne Welcome Scholarships Targeted at a limited number of places in undergraduate/UniLink and some VET programs for new students; check for course exclusions (e.g., some professional degrees and aviation may be excluded). Tuition Fee Scholarships (Research) & Research Stipend Scholarships For international postgraduate research students (HDR): tuition offsets, stipends and prize scholarships are available through dedicated research scholarship rounds. Application rounds / deadlines are listed on the research scholarship pages. International recipients must meet enrolment deadlines set in the offer. Faculty / Industry / Partner Scholarships Many scholarships are funded by industry partners, foundations or alumni (e.g., Medibank Next_Gen Scholarship, charity foundations, targeted Women in STEM awards, region-specific government scholarships like Australia Awards). These vary by eligibility (course, year level, demonstrated leadership, community involvement). Equity & Access Grants Scholarships and grants for students experiencing financial hardship, first-in-family, care-leavers or other equity groups (some open to international students in specific categories). Examples include Access Scholarship for Pathways Students and grants for disadvantaged students.   Typical eligibility criteria (common across scholarships) Be an international fee-paying student (check each scholarship: some are for domestic only). Offer/acceptance to an eligible Swinburne course (some scholarships are only for Hawthorn campus or specified programs). Academic merit (GPA / previous grades) — thresholds differ by scholarship. Residency / citizenship criteria for certain awards (e.g., government scholarships like Australia Awards have separate country-level application processes). Additional requirements for some awards: personal statement, CV, references, evidence of leadership, community involvement or financial hardship.   Practical tips for a strong scholarship application Start early — gather transcripts, references and evidence of extracurriculars/leadership. Tailor your personal statement to the selection criteria (leadership, community impact, academic excellence). If you’re applying for research scholarships, demonstrate the fit between your proposed research and Swinburne supervisors/facilities. Apply for multiple scholarships: Swinburne may consider unsuccessful applicants for alternate awards.   Other financial supports & mobility scholarships Exchange / study-abroad students can access overseas program fee help and exchange scholarships (e.g., Piers Fowler Exchange Scholarship). There are also government or external scholarships that Swinburne accepts — check country-level schemes (Chile, China CSC, Australia Awards, etc.).

Prepare strong academic evidence: scholarships are often merit-based — include grade certificates, transcripts, and any awards or research outputs. Write a clear supporting statement where permitted — explain why you deserve the scholarship and how your studies at UC will support your goals. Keep copies of everything certified — UC and visa authorities require certified documents.   What scholarships usually cover Tuition fee discounts (partial reductions) are the most common. ELICOS fee discounts (e.g., 15%) for packaged English courses. Research scholarships may include a living stipend and tuition coverage (specific to the scholarship).

Engage the student support office and scholarship team for feedback on your statement and application.

At-a-glance: the most important scholarship programs International Scientia Coursework Scholarship (flagship) — flagship, highly competitive scholarship for high-achieving international undergraduate or postgraduate coursework students; awards can include full tuition fee support for the degree or a substantial contribution (e.g. a $20,000 per year contribution option). International Student Award — a broad-award that provides 15% off tuition fees for eligible new international students for the duration of their program (for specified intakes). Check the specific variant that applies to your intake. UNSW Scholarships portal & targeted awards — UNSW runs a central scholarships portal listing many faculty-level, program-level and need-based scholarships for international undergrad and postgraduate coursework students (including travel grants, research top-ups and country/region-specific awards). Always search the portal for program-specific awards. Higher Degree Research (HDR) / Grad Research scholarships — for prospective PhD / MRes / Master-by-Research students, UNSW offers a range of HDR scholarships (stipends, tuition fee offsets, top-ups). These have their own application rounds and deadlines.   Who can apply? (Eligibility summary) Most coursework-focused international scholarships require you to be an international fee-paying student who is commencing full-time, on-campus study at UNSW (some exclude UNSW Online / UNSW Canberra — read each scholarship’s exclusions). Scientia requires outstanding academic results and leadership/extracurricular evidence (specific entry scores/criteria are listed on the scholarship page). HDR scholarships require you to apply for an HDR program and meet the academic/research criteria (supervisor confirmation, project fit). Deadlines are cohort-based — check the HDR scholarship application schedule   Typical award values & what they cover Full tuition or major tuition contribution — e.g., Scientia can cover full tuition for the degree or provide a large annual contribution (details vary by award and year). Partial tuition discount — e.g., International Student Award: 15% off tuition fees (for eligible intakes). HDR awards — often include a living stipend (annual stipend) plus tuition scholarship (value and duration vary by scholarship). Check HDR page for current stipend rates and deadlines.   Documents you’ll usually need Academic transcripts (official / certified, with translations if not English). Proof of offer / conditional offer (if scholarship requires one). Personal statement / scholarship essay (addressing leadership, achievements, community impact). CV / résumé listing extracurriculars, awards, leadership. Two referee contacts or reference letters (if requested). Passport / ID and proof of residency status (international student documents).   Selection criteria — how winners are chosen Selection usually considers a combination of: Academic excellence (GPA, test scores, ATAR-equivalent for undergrad). Leadership and impact (extracurriculars, community or work experience). Personal statement & demonstrated fit with UNSW values/priorities (innovation, community engagement, leadership). For HDR: research fit and supervisor support plus academic/research track record.   Practical tips to strengthen your application Write a clear impact-focused personal statement: quantify achievements, show leadership, and explain how UNSW + the scholarship will enable your goals. Evidence > claims: include awards, positions held, measurable outcomes (e.g., “led a team of X”, “raised $Y”, “published Z”). Get strong referees who can speak to academic ability and leadership. Apply early to the program (getting an offer early helps); set reminders for scholarship deadlines (they’re strict). For HDR applicants: contact potential supervisors early and secure a statement of support — this significantly boosts chances.   Deadlines & timing (what to watch for) UNSW runs annual international scholarship rounds (for example, Term 3, 2025 rounds had a publicised closing date of 15 July 2025). Always confirm the exact closing date for your intake on the official scholarship page — dates and rounds change yearly. HDR scholarships follow a separate schedule with multiple rounds across the year — check the HDR scholarships & application page for exact closing dates.   Competitiveness & realistic expectations Scientia and major tuition-covering awards are highly competitive — reserved for top academic performers plus strong leadership portfolios. Plan for backup funding (partial scholarships, loans, or family support). Partial awards (like the International Student Award) are more commonly awarded but still require a proper application.   Other funding routes to consider Faculty / school awards — many faculties offer targeted scholarships (check your faculty pages on the UNSW Scholarships portal). External scholarships / government scholarships — home-country scholarships, development agency scholarships, or private foundations. HDR stipends & industry top-ups — for research students, supervisors or industry partners sometimes provide additional top-ups.

Vice-Chancellor’s International Scholarships (VCIS) — flagship scheme for high-achieving international students; up to A$60,000 (new expanded amounts from 2026 intakes). Eligibility: international student with an unconditional offer to a CRICOS-registered undergraduate or coursework master’s degree. No separate application — eligible students with an unconditional offer by the relevant cut-off are automatically considered. Key 2026 updates change some caps and termination thresholds — check the close dates for the intake you want. Sydney International Undergraduate Academic Excellence Scholarship — full tuition + SSAF (for the published full-time duration of a single undergraduate degree) for outstanding school-leavers from priority markets. Requires an online application (link on the scholarship page); applicants must be international students who have applied for but not yet commenced an eligible undergraduate degree. Research scholarships (RTP / USYDIS / Tuition Fee Scholarships) — for international postgraduate research students (Higher Degree by Research): RTP Stipend, University of Sydney International Stipend Scholarship (USYDIS), and tuition fee offsets. Typical stipend ~ A$42,700 p.a. (2026 rate shown on site) plus relocation/thesis allowances and a tuition fee waiver for the length of candidature (subject to rules). Application is via admission + scholarship form; many are competitive and have strict deadlines. Faculty & course-specific international scholarships — every faculty (Engineering, Business, Arts, Medicine, etc.) runs discipline-specific awards (values and eligibility vary widely — many require a minimum WAM or specific achievements). Use the University’s scholarship search and faculty pages to find these.   Details, eligibility & application steps 1) Vice-Chancellor’s International Scholarships (VCIS) Value: up to A$60,000 (there are multiple award bands: A$60k, A$40k, A$20k, A$10k, A$5k — availability of each amount varies by cohort). Starting 2026 intakes the scheme includes a $60k scholarship value and some revised caps/termination thresholds. Who’s eligible: international students who have applied for — but not yet commenced — a CRICOS-registered bachelor’s or coursework master’s degree delivered onshore at USyd, and who have received an unconditional offer by the VCIS close date. How to apply: No separate application — automatic consideration if you have an unconditional offer by the published round close dates (VCIS has round deadlines per intake — see the VCIS page). Offers are subject to funds and ranking criteria.   2) Sydney International Undergraduate Academic Excellence Scholarship Value: 100% tuition + SSAF for the published full-time duration of one undergraduate degree. Eligibility: international applicants who have applied for (but not yet commenced) a single eligible undergraduate course; applicants must be school leavers (no prior tertiary study) per the terms; not available for some combined degrees/dual programs (check the exclusions on the webpage). How to apply: there is an online application form linked on the scholarship page (applications open for 2026 — note semester closing windows). Read selection criteria (academic merit, nationality diversity, degree diversity).   3) Research scholarships (RTP / USYDIS / Tuition Fee Scholarships) Main benefits: stipend (RTP/USYDIS) at the published rate (the page lists ~A$42,754 p.a. as the 2026 rate), relocation and thesis allowances, 100% tuition fee offset for eligible HD-research students, and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) in some awards. Who’s eligible: international students commencing or enrolled in a Higher Degree by Research (HDR). Many awards are competitive and require admission plus a scholarship application by the scholarship deadlines. How to apply: apply for admission through Sydney Courses and submit the scholarship application form by the scholarship deadlines. Some HDR scholarships automatically include tuition fee offsets when a stipend is awarded.   4) Faculty, program & smaller scholarships Faculties publish discipline-level awards (travel grants, internships, project scholarships, placement scholarships, etc.). Typical criteria: specific course enrollment, minimum WAM (often 73 or 75 for many competitive awards), research experience or demonstrated leadership. Always check the faculty’s scholarship page for exact WAM thresholds and application steps.   Application timeline & practical tips Check automatic vs. applied scholarships. VCIS is automatic (if you meet the unconditional-offer cut-offs). Many large awards (undergraduate full tuition scholarship) require an online application — don’t miss faculty or general scholarship closing dates. (VCIS rounds and dates are published on the VCIS page.) Get your unconditional offer early. For VCIS and other offers that use the admission offer as the eligibility trigger, securing an unconditional offer before the relevant round is critical. English & academic evidence: meet the University’s English entry requirements and supply certified transcripts and evidence of awards; many postgraduate scholarships ask for a WAM (Weighted Average Mark) or equivalent. See the University WAM page if you need to confirm conversion. HDR applicants: contact potential supervisors and discuss funding early — many faculty scholarships are project-linked and supervisors can advise on competitiveness and application material.   Recent context you should know (affects international applicants) The Australian government’s 2026 allocations and policy changes are affecting how many international places universities can grow by. The University of Sydney was recently denied extra international student places for 2026, which may affect intake planning and competition for high-value scholarships/places. This is broader policy news — it does not change scholarship terms but could affect intake availability and competitiveness   Actionable checklist for an international applicant (step-by-step) Decide program & check CRICOS code — confirm the program is eligible for scholarship types (VCIS requires CRICOS coursework degrees). Apply for admission through Sydney Courses and aim for an unconditional offer before the scholarship nomination deadlines. Search the University scholarship finder (filter “International” + your faculty) and note deadlines — some need separate applications (e.g., Sydney International Undergraduate Academic Excellence Scholarship). Prepare documents: certified transcripts, proof of English proficiency, CV, referee names, any faculty-specific docs (research proposal for HDR). Contact faculty or regional admission advisors if you’re unsure about course eligibility or country priority markets for certain scholarships (the undergrad excellence scholarship lists priority markets).

The main scholarships (what they are and who they’re for) UTS Academic Excellence International Scholarship — 30% of tuition Who: High-achieving commencing international students (undergrad or postgrad coursework). Must commence full-time on campus in Sydney. No separate application — applicants are automatically considered when they apply for admission. UTS Academic Merit International Scholarship — Value varies (e.g., 20% for 2025 intakes; 15% for 2026 intakes — check intake year) Who: Commencing international students (undergrad or postgrad coursework). Some variants are region-specific (e.g., South Asia) with different benefit percentages. Automatic assessment — no separate scholarship application. UTS Vice-Chancellor’s International Undergraduate Scholarship — Up to full tuition (Scholarship page shows “UTS Tuition Fees” as the value) Who: Top high-achieving international applicants to undergraduate programs (e.g., minimum academic averages apply — the cohort page shows ~85% or equivalent as a typical entry bar). This scholarship requires a separate online scholarship application form (not always automatic). UTS Scholarship for European Undergraduate Students — 40% of tuition Who: Commencing undergraduates who are citizens of European countries and are based offshore prior to commencement. Automatic consideration for eligible applicants. UTS Postgraduate International Scholarship (Master by coursework) — 20% of tuition Who: Commencing international students enrolling in eligible Master’s by coursework programs (specific faculties listed in the Conditions of Award). The award is automatic (no separate application) and recipients must maintain satisfactory academic progress (e.g., WAM 50+ each session) and enrol full-time on campus. LATAM International Postgraduate Coursework Scholarship — ~25% of tuition (region-specific) Who: Commencing postgraduate students from Latin America enrolling in eligible programs. Usually automatic consideration. Conditions of Award PDFs contain full details and recipient caps (e.g., maximum number per year). Other targeted awards UTS has regional scholarships (South Asia, LATAM, Africa, SE Asia, etc.), IB/High-school achiever awards (e.g., IB scholarships for top IB Diploma graduates from particular regions), faculty-level scholarships (e.g., law, engineering), and UTS College pathway scholarships (discounts for Foundation/Pathway students that continue to UTS). Each has its own rules and sometimes limited recipient numbers   Eligibility patterns — what UTS commonly requires International student status: must not be an Australian/New Zealand citizen or permanent resident. Course mode: usually full-time, on-campus (Sydney) for the duration of the scholarship. “On campus” sometimes includes remote learning only where explicitly allowed; online/distance degrees are commonly excluded. Academic merit: most awards are merit-based, using the qualification used for admission (e.g., Australian Year 12, IB, previous bachelor). Some awards set a minimum average (e.g., Vice-Chancellor’s scholarship shows ~85% for the Year 12 basis). Region/citizenship requirements: many scholarships are region-restricted (e.g., South Asia, Latin America, Europe). Check each award for a country list. No double-dipping: recipients are frequently not allowed to hold other UTS scholarships that together equal more than 100% of tuition. Government-sponsored students are often ineligible. Ongoing progress: recipients usually must maintain minimum academic progress (example: WAM 50+ in each session for many postgrad awards) or risk suspension/termination.   Realities & fine print you must know Automatic offers mean you may receive an offer letter for a scholarship together with your course offer — but some bigger awards require you to actively apply (e.g., Vice-Chancellor’s). Always read the offer letter carefully for conditions. Scholarship durations are usually the standard duration of the course (or specified sessions) and the award may be exhausted early if you take reduced sessions or non-standard enrolment. Academic misconduct, failure to maintain minimum WAM/progress, or change to residency status (e.g., gaining PR) can terminate the scholarship and may require repayment of benefits. Read the Conditions of Award carefully.   Top-tips to maximise your chance Apply early for your course — many scholarships are competitive and program deposit/payment can be part of selection. Aim for the highest possible documented academic average (transcripts, IB, or prior degree). Merit-based scholarships primarily use the qualification for admission as the metric. If a scholarship asks for personal-statement responses (e.g., Vice-Chancellor’s application), treat those like mini-essays: show leadership, community impact, and why UTS is the right place for your goals. Keep proof of exceptional circumstances ready (medical letters, etc.) in case you need to explain deferred enrolment or leave that would otherwise affect scholarship eligibility.
