Where To Apply

Australian universities that give international scholarships automatically

Many international scholarships need a separate application, a statement, sometimes an interview, and a lot of applicants never get around to them. At these universities, a tuition reduction is applied automatically based on the grades in your admission application.

That makes the effective cost of these universities lower than the sticker price for any student with a solid academic record. The reductions usually run for the whole degree, not just the first year.
