Eligibility
To be eligible to apply for this scholarship, you will need to:

Be an International full-fee paying student.
Be commencing study in an eligible CRICOS-registered undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degree priority program at the university (see above for eligible programs).
Not be the beneficiary of a separate University scholarship unless prior approval for special dispensation has been obtained from the university.
Be able to meet the financial obligations of a full fee-paying international student specified by the Australian Government. Evidence of this ability must be provided if requested by the university.
Required Documentation
Required documents will be listed on the ‘Your Documents’ page of your application. The application portal accepts PDF only. A maximum of 3 PDF smaller than 5 MB can be added per document type upload field.

Benefit
The scholarship value ranges from AU$4,000 to AU$12,000 per year for a standard full-time study load (80 units) in an eligible program, with the value dependent on the recipient’s region.

The maximum value would be AU$48,000 over a full-time 4-year degree.

The scholarship is applied on a pro-rata basis, apportioned to each course taken in each term of study.

The scholarship benefit will be applied as tuition fee waivers directly to the recipient's University student account.

This will reduce the tuition fee liability by the scholarship benefit amount for each term of the program of study, provided the conditions of the scholarship are maintained. The benefit amount will be calculated on the number of units the recipient is enrolled in at Census date for each term. The tuition fee waiver may not be reflected on the tuition fee account until census date has passed. After census date, a fee waiver will be applied to the recipient’s student account.

Please refer to the scholarship terms and conditions linked above for an outline of the scholarship value for the regions. The benefit description outlines the maximum scholarship value available to the recipient dependent on a region (Asia Pacific, Africa and Middle East, Rest of World). Appendix B identifies the countries included in each region for this scholarship.
