Overview

The University of Sydney runs a large scholarship search rather than a single named award, and it covers two quite different things: international merit awards for coursework students, and the fully funded Research Training Program packages for higher degrees by research.

Between them they offer merit awards towards tuition for high-achieving international students, plus full research scholarships.

Which route applies to you

The requirements vary by award, and the split matters:

  • Coursework merit awards are usually assessed automatically from your admission application, so there is nothing separate to submit.
  • Research scholarships require a supervisor and a research proposal, which means work to do before you apply, not after.

Treating a research scholarship like a coursework one is the common mistake, by the time admission opens, the supervisor conversation should already have happened.

Use the university's scholarship search to find the awards that match your course and check each one's own conditions and closing date on the official page below.
