Who is eligible
Commencing international students in most coursework degrees. Undergraduates need an ATAR of 85 for 10% or 90 for 20%; postgraduates need a WAM of 65 for 10% or 75 for 20%. Assessed automatically once final transcripts are submitted, cannot be held with any other UWA tuition reduction.
UWA's automatic merit scholarship for international students. The value is banded: a higher weighted average at entry moves you into a larger tuition reduction, applied across the degree.
No separate application is needed for the standard bands. Perth also counts as a regional area for skilled migration, so a UWA scholarship pairs with extra points toward the 190 and 491 visas.
UWA's official page states the award as a straight percentage rather than a fixed dollar figure: an ATAR of 85 gives 10 percent off tuition and an ATAR of 90 gives 20 percent for undergraduates, while postgraduate applicants need a WAM of 65 for 10 percent or 75 for 20 percent. It is assessed automatically once your final transcripts are submitted with your application, needs no separate form, and cannot be held together with any other UWA tuition fee reduction or scholarship.
