Scholarship

  • 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  • Third-party directories show scholarship listings but often repeat generic or outdated offers.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.
