How to Apply for Scholarships in Australia from Canada
Step 1: Choose Your Course and University
Check the eligibility criteria for your program and prepare your documents in advance. You may decide to partner with a study abroad consultant like IDP Education, which is co-owned by Australian universities so your best interests are always number one. Learn more.
Step 2: Check Eligibility for Available Scholarships
Review Australian scholarships for international students that are offered by your program and your school. You may also use resources such as IDP Education’s Find a Scholarship tool to locate funding for international students.
Step 3: Prepare Your Documents (Transcripts, Letters, etc.)
Some scholarships for Canadian students studying in Australia require additional documents in your application such as recommendation letters, a personal essay or personal statement. Be sure to customize these documents to each scholarship to strengthen your application and get another pair of eyes to review your material for errors. Where possible, research selection criteria for your scholarship and make sure each part of your application satisfies these requirements.
Step 4: Submit Your Scholarship Application by the Deadline
Organize yourself early and research each scholarship application in-depth so you’re not completing everything last minute, this is usually how small mistakes can happen which can affect your application. Use a calendar to work backwards and create a breakdown of each task and when they need to be completed by. You may even use reminders on your phone and timers to help you stay on task. We recommend submitting your application at least a few days in advance.
Step 5: Apply for Your Australian Student Visa
As an international student studying in Australia and a scholarship applicant, you will need an Australian Student Visa (Subclass 500). Review the requirements in advance and seek expert guidance as needed.
Tips to Increase Your Chances of Getting a Scholarship
Maintain Strong Grades
This is a key part of demonstrating your academic standing, which is especially important for program-specific scholarships. High grades are evidence of your commitment, hard work, and perseverance. These are sought-after qualities that can increase the competitiveness of your application. In Australia, high-distinction grades, which will increase your success with scholarships, fall between 85-100 numerical range.
Write a Clear and Honest Personal Statement
Your personal statement conveys the narrative behind who you are as a person, including your values, your goals, and what motivates you to study in the program you’ve selected. Use this opportunity to showcase your strengths and achievements, alongside concrete details. You may consider highlighting why you require the scholarship if it is need-based.
Apply Early and Follow Instructions Carefully
As mentioned, mistakes are more likely to happen when you feel rushed and stressed. Research all aspects of your application thoroughly so you can ensure you’re creating the strongest application, including understanding best practices and tips for elements such as your personal statement. Submit your application in advance of the deadline and double check everything. If you can, get a classmate or loved one to review your materials.
