All applications and enquiries for scholarships are made through the scholarship provider.
Here is information about some of the major scholarships programs available for international students:
Australia Awards - The Australia Awards aim to promote knowledge, education links, and enduring ties between Australia and our neighbours through Australia's extensive scholarship programs. The program brings together scholarships offered by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFAT), the Department of Education and the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR). Read more about Australia Awards (opens in a new window) and Endeavour Scholarships and Fellowships (opens in a new window).
International Postgraduate Research Scholarships - The International Postgraduate Research Scholarships (IPRS) program focuses on improving the quality of Australian research. If you already have a graduate qualification, an IPRS scholarship lets you study in Australia with some of the best researchers in your field. You can read more about these scholarships at the Department of Education (opens in a new window) website. Or to search for the scholarships, use the search tool on this website.If you are considering going to Australia for you, you may also be considering how you can work. There are a lot of different options that you have to choose from if you want to work in Australia. Of course, working in Australia means you may have to make an adjustment to the visa you are working on (you can find more information here), but it’s not a difficult process. Most student visas allow you to work up to 40 weeks every 2 weeks, but make sure to check out and research at the Immigration Department website before you make any assumptions about working in Australia.
Why would you consider working while studying? First, you may be the type of person that likes to work a lot, and that’s okay. Other people may consider it so that they can save up and use the money that they are making. You may need some assistance with your living expenses, or you may just want some pocket money so that you can enjoy your time in Australia. In some cases, you can get a job related to the field you are studying, which is always helpful for getting experience and finding a job in your field of study after you’ve graduated.
You could end up working in a variety of industries while studying in Australia. You may find work related to whatever field you are studying, or you could find a traditional part time job that many college students end up having (like working in fast food or at a grocery store)
