Are you thinking about studying and working in Australia? Has it occurred to you that you can do it through a scholarship and have an extra little help to make one of the best trips of your life?
If you find it an attractive plan to spend time in Australia studying, read on because today we are going to review the different scholarships you can apply for if you have already decided that your plan is to go to study at down under.
Scholarships in Australia
There are several institutions that offer scholarships to study in Australia: the Australian government, educational institutions and other public and private organisations.
Types of grants available
Most educational scholarships you’ll find in Australia are to study for a degree, a master’s degree or to support research projects (discussed below). If you are looking for a scholarship to study English or a professional course, the Australian government and public institutions do not usually offer it. Private institutions usually offer language scholarships to Spanish speakers through companies! However, we recommend that you check out the scholarships offered by the Australian government to international students through this official Australian scholarship search engine.
If you are looking for a scholarship to study a degree or master’s degree in Australia, after locating the scholarship you are interested in, it is wise to contact the university where you wish to be admitted to find out the criteria for admission.
Requirements for university scholarships in Australia
Although the requirements usually vary depending on the programme you want to attend and the educational institution you want to attend, there are a number of general requirements common to most universities:
Sufficient knowledge of English. They usually ask for an academic ielts (international English language testing system) that attests to a proficiency level. This test tests your ability to read, write, speak and understand English in academic contexts. It will be a fundamental requirement to be eligible for any scholarship to study at any Australian university.
Translated documents. The documentation that each university requires for access must be photocopies of the originals and you will most likely be asked for official translations by a translator accredited by the Australian government.
Scholarships at Australian universities
Although there are many scholarships that you can apply for, as each university normally has its own scholarships, here are some of the scholarship programs that we found most interesting:
