We believe that university is an enriching experience that should be open to everyone, regardless of their background.
We offer many scholarships for international students. They can be awarded on merit or to provide access to university. Our scholarships can help you with your fees or with your move to Tasmania.
Once you’ve completed a semester of study with us, as a continuing student, you’ll be eligible for the same scholarships as domestic students. International students completing years 11 and 12 onshore in Australia can also apply for the same scholarships as domestic students.
