Value of the International Excellence Scholarship
The scholarship is valued at AU$15,000 for each year of study under full-time study load. This is apportioned over each course taken (pro-rata with an approved load reduction on program plan, credits exemptions, progression, wellbeing grounds or for part-year programs like grad certs) and equates to AU$1875 per 10 units of study.
The benefit will be applied directly to your university tuition fee account as a reduction in fees against the number of credits initially issued in your Letter of Offer.
