Who is eligible
Commencing students who are citizens of India holding an unconditional offer for an eligible undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degree. Awarded on academic merit, with a small fixed number of each type each year.
A dedicated University of Sydney program for Indian students. Each year it offers two full-tuition undergraduate scholarships for up to four years, ten first-year awards of AUD 20,000, and sixteen first-year awards of AUD 10,000.
It needs a separate application and is competitive because the numbers are fixed. Sydney's broader international scholarships, some assessed automatically without an application, can usually be held alongside a country scholarship, so most Indian applicants are considered for more than one form of support.
Selection is made by a committee under the Associate Vice-President Sydney Future Students, weighing academic merit, a personal statement, and the strength of the admission application itself, not academic results alone. For the 2026 cycle applications run from 1 April to 24 May. Recipients must accept their unconditional offer by the deadline tied to their scholarship round or the offer is rescinded, and to keep receiving payments they must maintain a semester average mark of at least 65 with no outstanding fees, with the full-tuition award paid across up to four years and the smaller awards paid in semester instalments.
