Description
The International Excellence Scholarship has been established to attract high-performing students to study at the University of Newcastle. This merit-based scholarship acknowledges applicants with a strong academic background and provides an ongoing incentive for continued academic achievement.
Applicable programmes
Benefits
The scholarship is based on a fixed value for each year of study under a standard full-time study load (80 units) apportioned over each course taken.
The annual scholarship value AUD $6,000. As a course unit value (based on 10 units) this is AUD $750 per course.
The maximum value would be AU$24,000 over a full-time 4-year degree.
The scholarship will be administered for each term of study in the eligible program(s) as a tuition fee reduction against the number of units required to successfully complete the program of study as specified in the University’s Program Handbook.
The scholarship will reduce the tuition fee liability by the scholarship benefit amount for each term of the program of study, provided the conditions of the scholarship are maintained. The benefit amount will be calculated on number of units the recipient is enrolled in at Census date for each term.
Eligibility
To be eligible to apply for this scholarship, you will need to:
- Be an International full-fee paying student.
- Be commencing study in an eligible CRICOS-registered undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degree priority program at the university.
- Not be the beneficiary of a separate University scholarship unless prior approval for special dispensation has been obtained from the university.
