WITH YOU
                                  ALL THE WAY

                                  When you accept your place at the
                                  University of Melbourne, you’ll be
                                  joining a community of exceptional
                                  people who believe in the power of
                                  collaboration and mutual support.

                                  Whether our passions lie in physics or the
                                  performing arts, the one thing we all believe
                                  in at Melbourne is advancing the boundaries
                                  of what’s possible. And we can only do
                                  that together. That’s why the Melbourne
                                  Scholarships Program is one of the most
                                  generous and comprehensive in Australia.

                                  There’s a wide range of scholarships listed
                                  here, and it’s worth reading through the
                                  eligibility criteria for each. You may be
                                  surprised at what you can apply for. There are
                                  scholarships for domestic and international
                                  students. Scholarships awarded on merit and
                                  others that take financial need into account.
                                  We have opportunities that support your
                                  entire degree and scholarships that allow
                                  you to explore a specific interest area. You’ll
                                  also find support designed to help you live in
                                  Melbourne or travel the globe.

                                  Wherever you are, and whatever your passion,

                                  Please note: You are a domestic student if you are an
                                  Australian citizen or permanent resident, a New Zealand citizen
                                  or hold a permanent humanitarian visa. If you fulfill one of
                                  these criteria, you are considered a domestic student even if

                                  you do not meet this criteria, even if you are currently attending

GRANTS,
BURSARIES
AND PRIZES

In addition to our scholarships, we
offer many prizes, grants and bursaries
that can help you get the most out of
your time at university.

Excel in your studies as a student at Melbourne
and you could pick up a coveted prize for
academic achievement. We also have a range
of grants available to help you undertake
volunteering or leadership activities.

You’ll also have the chance to benefit from
bursaries designed to meet a variety of
needs and ease the financial pressures of
university, so you can focus on your studies.
Many student bursaries have been established
by generous bequests and donations. The
University awards more than 1000 bursary
payments each year, varying from $1000 to
$10,000.

   Doug Brumley was awarded a string
   of scholarships during his Bachelor of
   Science (Honours) at the University of
   Melbourne. He firmly believes success
   breeds success, and he has the evidence
   to prove it — accumulating several
   awards throughout his studies including
   support from Newman College. These
   achievements paved the way to the
   prestigious Gates Cambridge Scholarship
   that supported him during his PhD
   overseas — and helped him land his dream
   job as a lecturer in applied mathematics
   back at Melbourne.

   “Scholarships like these encouraged
   me to push even further. Working hard
   for a string of scholarships from the
   University of Melbourne can help you
   present yourself well.”

   Doug’s Melbourne awards include:

     “Receiving a New Colombo Plan
     grant provided me with a layer of
     reassurance that enabled me to say
     “yes” to more and ultimately get
     more out of my exchange experience.
     During my semester abroad at Fudan
     University in China, I encountered
     many opportunities to push myself out
     of my comfort zone.

     “These experiences led to the greatest
     highlights of my time abroad and were,
     to a large extent, made possible by the
     extra support provided by the New
     Colombo Plan grant. The added support
     made my exchange semester feel like an
     experience I had to make the most of, as
     there was no good reason not to!”
