Supporting documents

Scholarships are assessed on a rolling basis in the lead-up to each trimester. To complete your application, you'll need to submit:

• a completed International Scholarship Program application form
• a 300-word personal statement
• two references highlighting your community involvement and/or leadership skills
• your course application, including academic transcripts.

Your personal statement should be written in your own words and reflect your voice. It should outline why you want to study at Deakin, any extracurricular or work experience (paid or voluntary), what makes you a strong ambassador for the university and any other information that supports your application.

You may also be invited to attend an interview.

To be eligible you must:

• be a new international student enrolling in a Deakin coursework degree
• meet the entry requirements for your course, including English language requirements
• have achieved at least an 85% average (or equivalent) in previous studies.

Conditions of eligibility

This scholarship is not available to international students enrolled in the Doctor of Medicine (H911) program.

Meeting the minimum criteria does not guarantee selection. Due to strong competition, higher academic results may be required.

If you're not selected for the Vice-Chancellor's International Scholarship, you'll automatically be considered for the Deakin International Scholarship.
