The Australian Universities and other educational
institutions offer scholarships for international students, most of these
scholarships are offered for universities and for postgraduate studies . Some
other organisations also offer scholarships for international study. The
majority of international students in Australia are full-fee paying students.
With only a limited number of scholarships available for international students
there is intense competition for these awards. Scholarships are not available
for international students undertaking English language training in
Australia.

Australian University Scholarships
Australian universities offer a range of postgraduate
scholarships to international students predominantly targeting Doctoral and
Masters Degrees by research. The course of study and conditions of financial
support is determined by the individual university. Eg: A University may
offer to pay for the final year of study for the student who achieves the best
results in a particular academic course. Some scholarships cover tuition and
provides a stipend while other scholarships may be worth a few thousand
dollars. Some universities reserve a few scholarships only for
international students. The Australian Government Education Department
website can link you to the relevant university to find out more about
scholarships available. In any case you must speak to the university
directly.
other Funding Sources
A good number of international and charitable organizations
offer scholarships for international study. Applications for these scholarships
must be made to the representatives of these agencies in the student's home
country, not Australia.
The Association of Commonwealth Universities website
provides a scholarships guide for Commonwealth postgraduate students offered by
Governments, Rotary International, World Bank, World Health Organisation, Asian
Development Bank, United Nations, Rockefeller Foundation and other
organisations.
