Scholarships to Study in Australia 2020-2021
Looking for scholarships in Australia? Check out our list!
Australia is home to world-class universities and colleges, and many of them offer a wide range of scholarships to international students every year to help them finance their studies in Australia. These scholarships are open to meritorious international students, and they can be partial or fully paid scholarships, depending on the criteria, course and the institution offering them.
The Australian Government also offers a number of scholarships and bursaries to international students who want to study in Australia. You can check out the Australian Government website to find out if you are eligible for one of these scholarships.
When applying to any of the scholarships in Australia, make sure you check the scholarship eligibility criteria carefully, and know all about the application process and closing date. You can also seek support from your IDP counsellor, who will guide you through your journey.
What are the eligibility criteria to apply for scholarships in Australia?
The most important 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. Keep in mind that every scholarship has its own eligibility criteria. In some, a mere application may suffice, while for others you may have to fulfil several other conditions. For instance, in research centric programs, you may have to submit written assignments. Do not hesitate to contact the university admission centre if you have any doubts.
Scholarships value: How much money is available?
The amount of money available and the type of award varies between institutions. Certain research programs may provide up to 100% of the tuition fee besides covering a part of your living expenditures. You may experience higher competition when you apply for government scholarships in comparison to the university scholarships. So, we suggest you start with the procedure about 8-12 months before your preferred intake begins. If you get stuck anywhere, IDP counsellors will be more than happy to guide you through.
What are the documents required to apply for scholarships in Australia?
When you’re applying for a scholarship, you have to check the granting institution’s website to make sure you provide all the needed documents. However, there are common documents that most of the institutions require from scholarship applicants, such as:
- Completed scholarship application form
- Copy of your academic transcripts/diplomas
- Copy of your passport/ID
- Statement of purpose or letter of motivation
- Recommendation letter
- Test score (like SAT, ACT, GRE, GPA)
- Proof of your language proficiency, like an IELTS test.
Some institutions may also require some additional documents, such as an essay and medical report.
