International students who want to study in Australia can apply for this undergraduate scholarship at Western Sydney University. This scholarship is specifically for international applicants who want to study for an undergraduate degree in Australia.
Please go through this post in detail because I will be explaining some things in the process from my personal experience of studying on full scholarship in Australia (although I didn’t school at Western Sydney) to help you have a better understanding of the scholarship.
Note: scholarship applications are free and no money is required by scholarship providers to apply for scholarship, please beware!
What is the scholarship value?
International applicants who are awarded this scholarship will receive $5,000 or $7,500 each year of their undergraduate course, as stated by Western Sydney University. Let me explain this – the reason the amount to be awarded is different is that if you finished high school or secondary school with excellent result, you will be awarded $7,500 but if you finished with average result (depending on how they calculate it), you will be awarded $5,000. What you need to know that this award is given to help you pay your tuition fee in the university.
What is the duration of support?
You are entitled to receive the scholarship value for at most 3 years of your undergraduate course at Western Sydney University, so lets do an illustration, say the course you chose lasts for 4 years, you will continue to receive the scholarship till you complete 300 level but will stop getting it by the time you get to 400 level. This is so you know how to prepare yourself and seek alternate means of paying your tuition after year 3, or you can apply for other scholarships too to cover your tuition-fee. You may want to know more about studying in Australia.
How many scholarships are available?
It is not specified because it is an automatic scholarship. I will throw more light on that when am talking about the application process.
Which courses are covered by this scholarship?
Any undergraduate course you apply for at Western Sydney is part of this scholarship, except courses that are taken at the university campus located in Sydney and they are not much. When applying, you will see the list of courses that are taken in the main campus and those that are taken in the capital city of Sydney.
