Overview
The International Undergraduate Scholarships were established by the University of Melbourne in recognition of the significant contribution made by international students to the diversity of the University's student population. The University usually awards 50 scholarships per year.
Details
We come from different places – from the inner cities to the Kimberley, and from over 140 different countries – to make Melbourne home.
We have different passions and ambitions. Some of us want to see beyond the stars; some of us are working to save what’s precious here on Earth. Some of us are driven to create new worlds in art or to carve a path in sport. The one thing we all have in common is a passion for changing what’s possible, and we know we can only do that together.
The International Undergraduate Scholarship is awarded to high achieving international students in recognition of their excellent academic results.
