The benefits for most scholarships are activated once you have accepted your offer and met the conditions of your scholarship (e.g. enrolment in a course or subject). Payments have different pay days depending on the type of benefit.
For detailed information on expected payment dates, please refer to your scholarship offer.
Before you can receive the benefits, you must accept the course and scholarship offer, be enrolled in your course, and, if required, provide the University with the details of your Australian bank account.
Scholarship benefits vary and may include one-off payments, regular payments or tuition fee sponsorships.
Each scholarship, bursary or grant has its own eligibility criteria. As scholarships are generally competitive, achieving a strong course entry score can help strengthen your application and improve your chances of being considered.
