Recognising the power of soft diplomacy through international education, the Australian Government allocates significant funding to support Australian students in taking up international opportunities. While the focus is on our region, the opportunities range more widely. There are also scholarships for students from a large number of countries to take up opportunities at Australian universities. Some other countries have similar schemes. For an outline of funding available and links to further information please view the tables below.

Organisations not aligned with or endorsed by UniSA are asking prospective students to pay a fee to make an application. UniSA scholarships do not require any application fees. Please contact us if you are asked to make an application or payment in this way.
