Before you start Before you start checking the scholarships, it is necessary that you consider the following general recommendations:
+ + +
The calls for scholarships will request you always have the minimum level of English required to access the program of interest, unless clearly specified otherwise (as in the case of scholarships including leveling weeks before starting language studies). The requested level of English by colleges is usually an IELTS of 6.5, but some study fields such as Law, may require up to 7.5. Although not explicitly mentioned, Australian universities generally don’t award scholarships to students who have already attained a high academic degree or the equivalent to the degree they will aspire to obtain in Australia. e.g., someone who has a master degree in its country, would not be able to compete for a master scholarship in Australia. The scholarships listed here are of more general interest, but in Australia there are many more, focused on specific topics and fields. Contact us to inform you about them.
