Frequently asked questions

Can Chinese students get a scholarship to study in Australia?

Yes — 17 awards on this page name Chinese applicants as eligible in their own eligibility text. Always confirm on the funder's page, because eligibility changes between intakes.

Are Australian scholarships fully funded?

Some are. We label each award by what its own text says it covers — full package, tuition and living, tuition only, living only, or a partial contribution — and leave it unclassified when the wording does not say enough to tell.

When do Australian scholarship applications close?

Most awards run on the Semester 1 (February) and Semester 2 (July) intakes, with applications opening months ahead. Deadlines that move every year are shown as described by the funder rather than pinned to a date that would go stale.
