The huge scholarships are available to students at the tertiary level, with students from all disciplines and institutions being eligible. More than 4200 scholarships are now offered to Australian students in both higher education and vocational fields. Some of the common available scholarships are:

Federal Government Scholarship

The primary source of scholarships for beginning students is the Commonwealth Scholarships Program, a federal government program designed to make the university accessible to students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, particularly Indigenous students and those from regional and remote areas. These scholarships are given out automatically to qualifying students and do not need them to apply.

Education Provider Scholarship

Most educational institutions, particularly universities, provide a range of scholarships. Many are given solely based on academic achievement, while others are given based on equity, taking into account financial hardship, Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander ancestry, or secondary schooling in distant or underprivileged locations. Some scholarships can include perks like an internship with a company, access to advanced studies, or time with an academic or industrial mentor.

Private Organisation Scholarship

Scholarships are also offered by many private organizations. These are comparable to institution scholarships in that some are awarded for academic achievement, others for financial need and yet others for specific fields of study or social groups. Some foreign governments, for example, provide grants for foreign language study and exchange programs, while some major retail companies may provide scholarships to employees and their relatives. It is worthwhile to inquire about scholarships in your field of study with professional organisations, significant companies, and relevant government departments.
