Scholarships

Don't pay more than you have to

Thousands of dollars in scholarships go unclaimed every year. We help you find and win the funding you qualify for, completely free.

Types of scholarships

Six ways to fund your Australian education

Every student's situation is different. We screen your eligibility across all scholarship types to maximise your savings.

Merit-Based

Awarded for academic excellence. Typically require a high GPA or outstanding test scores. Available at most Australian universities.

Need-Based

Designed for students with financial hardship. Require documentation of financial circumstances. Can cover partial or full tuition fees.

Government-Funded

Programs like Australia Awards and Destination Australia. Cover tuition, living costs and travel. Highly competitive but transformational.

University-Specific

Each university offers its own scholarship programs, and what they are worth varies widely between institutions and courses. Often automatically assessed on application.

Country-Specific

Reserved for students from specific countries or regions. Recognise bilateral relationships between Australia and partner nations.

Field-Specific

Target students in priority areas like STEM, healthcare, education and agriculture. Designed to address skills shortages in Australia.

FAQ

Scholarship questions, answered

How much can I save with a scholarship?

It varies widely. Scholarships range from small one-off contributions to full fee waivers, and what is on offer depends on the institution, the course, your academic record and where you are applying from. Rather than quote a range that would be wrong for most people, we check what you are actually eligible for and what each one is worth, at the institutions on your shortlist.

Do I need perfect grades to get a scholarship?

Not necessarily. While merit scholarships favour high achievers, there are need-based, country-specific and field-specific scholarships that consider other factors beyond grades.

Can I apply for multiple scholarships?

Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Some scholarships can even be combined. We'll help you identify the best mix of applications to maximise your chances.

When should I start applying?

We recommend starting 6–12 months before your intended start date. Many scholarships have early deadlines and competitive processes. The sooner you begin, the more options you'll have.

Does Edmark charge for scholarship help?

No. Our scholarship guidance is part of our free consultation service. Our expert help costs you nothing.

Visa requirements change frequently. Always confirm the current position on the Department of Home Affairs website before making decisions.
