Scholarships for international students
Australia's 46 listed scholarships are mostly university money: 28 hosts, with the Australian National University, University of Sydney and University of Adelaide each running four awards. Master's dominates with 32 entries, against 19 Bachelor's and 15 PhD. Most awards are partial tuition waivers rather than full stipends, and only 3 of the 46 have a deadline still ahead, so check each date before you plan.

Institution-run awards dominate. The ANU Chancellor's International Scholarship cuts tuition by 25% or 50% and guarantees first-year accommodation. The Sydney International Undergraduate Academic Excellence Scholarship pays 100% of tuition and SSAF for up to 4 years but nothing else. Adelaide's Academic Excellence Scholarship is a 50% reduction; Griffith's Vice Chancellor's International Scholarship also gives 50%. Smaller sums: Macquarie's Vice-Chancellor's award is up to AUD$10,000, non-renewable, and excludes living costs and OSHC.
Australian Government schemes come with nationality and work-experience conditions. Australia Awards Scholarships cover tuition, return air travel, living expenses and OSHC for citizens of participating countries. The Research Training Program funds higher degrees by research through a fees offset plus stipend. Research money is where living allowances appear: USYDIS pays $42,754 p.a. (2026 rate) plus 100% tuition, and Flinders FIPRS pays $36,061 p.a. and an establishment allowance of up to $1,485.
Most awards require an offer of admission first: Sydney's Vice-Chancellor's scheme needs an unconditional offer, and ANU's Chancellor's award requires a commencing offer in an eligible program. Nationality limits recur: Flinders and Curtin exclude New Zealand citizens, and Melbourne's undergraduate award requires citizenship of a country with GDP per capita of US$10,000 or less. Only 3 of the 46 have a deadline ahead, among them Australia Awards (30 April 2026) and CDU's Vice-Chancellor's High Achievers (4 July 2027). Others show dates such as 2015 or 2020 and must be verified.
Most listed awards are tuition-only. Living allowances appear in research awards such as USYDIS ($42,754 p.a. for 2026) and Flinders FIPRS ($36,061 p.a.), and in Australia Awards, which include a living-expenses contribution and OSHC.
Usually not. Sydney's Vice-Chancellor's International Scholarships Scheme requires an unconditional offer by the close date, and Adelaide's Academic Excellence Scholarship requires a CRICOS-registered degree application. Check each award's admission condition first.
Three of the 46 listed. Australia Awards Scholarships close 30 April 2026, CDU's Vice-Chancellor's International High Achievers close 4 July 2027, and Flinders FIPRS closes 18 June 2026.
Yes. PhD and research Master's awards typically pair a tuition offset with a stipend, as with the Research Training Program, ANU's Fenner School PhD Scholarship (AUD 39,069 per annum, 2026 rate) and La Trobe's Graduate Research Scholarship.
