What is the criteria for applying to scholarships for international students in Australia?

The primary criterion for most scholarships is a good academic score, however, it also depends on factors such as your chosen destination, subject, and level. In some scholarships, factors like extracurricular activities, and volunteering can also be used to advantage.

You may need to declare scores on an English language proficiency test such as IELTS, which is commonly accepted by all Australian institutions.

What amount of money is available through scholarships?

Most scholarships in Australia for Indian students cover tuition fees although some may also cover living or travelling expenses. Research programs at times offer up to 100% scholarships to students including tuition fees and living expenses.

Do note that the amount of money available and the type of award varies as per your institution. Getting a scholarship is competitive and so, you must apply well ahead of time. We recommend you start with the procedure about 8-12 months before the preferred intake begins.
