Frequently asked questions

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.

What are the entry requirements for Foundation Law in Australia?

Entry is set by each university, not nationally or by state. For a foundation you will generally need the preceding qualification at the grade the university states, English at IELTS 6.0–7.0 or equivalent, and for international students a Confirmation of Enrolment before a subclass 500 student visa can be granted.
