The University of Canberra Vice-Chancellor Scholarships have opened applications for the 2022 cohort of the programme available for undergraduate and postgraduate students from developing countries who are willing to study in Australia.
The scholarship is an award worth AUD$50,000 covering all of your tuition fees for the course duration, on-campus accommodation, an annual living allowance of AUD$10,000, and other miscellaneous expenses in the first year.
The Australian Government has a large scholarship program for scholarships for international students and invests some $200 million dollars per year in programs at universities and other tertiary institutions around the country. International students are eligible for fully funded scholarships in the same way that Australian students are. The main difference is that international students may need to provide additional documentation during the application process. Many international students come to Australia seeking a quality higher education.
