Who is eligible
New commencing international students studying on campus at a Charles Sturt location, in an approved course, with an academic entry score of 80 percent or higher. Not available to continuing or transferring students.
Charles Sturt's flagship international award halves tuition for the whole degree. Charles Sturt teaches at regional New South Wales campuses including Wagga Wagga, Bathurst, Albury-Wodonga, Orange, Dubbo and Port Macquarie, so it also carries the regional study points toward the 190 and 491 visas.
It needs a separate application after you hold or accept an offer, and it is competitive, weighing community contribution alongside marks. Applications usually close mid-year for the following intake, so confirm the current round on the scholarship page.
Beyond the 80 percent entry-score threshold, Charles Sturt asks shortlisted applicants for a personal statement covering community involvement, leadership roles, and how those experiences reflect the university's values, so the selection weighs more than transcripts. It is genuinely competitive: reporting on a past round found only three scholarships awarded from ten shortlisted applicants out of roughly 70 total applications, illustrating how few offers convert into awards. Charles Sturt does not publish a fixed number of places in its own guidelines, so that ratio should be read as an indicative example rather than a guaranteed rate.
