Australia - Scholarship

International students can study in Australia with a multiple of scholarships and bursaries provided by the Australian government and universities. There are research programme scholarships available as well as undergraduate and graduate degrees. There is no need to submit a separate application because the majority of Australian universities automatically provide scholarships to deserving students based only on their academic records.
