Some scholarships may also consider financial need or country-specific eligibility requirements.

Absolutely. Many Australian universities offer scholarships specifically for Indian and other international students based on academic merit, leadership potential, or programme eligibility. Indian students can also explore selected government-funded scholarship opportunities where eligible.  

The required documents vary by scholarship, but commonly include: 
- Academic transcripts  
- Valid passport   Statement of Purpose (SOP)  
- Letters of Recommendation (LORs)  
- English language test scores (IELTS, PTE, TOEFL, or equivalent)  
- Resume/CV (for selected programmes)  
- Scholarship essays or personal statements (where applicable)  

Scholarship deadlines vary by university and intake. Since many scholarships have limited funding and are awarded on a competitive basis, it's recommended to begin your university application 6–12 months before your intended intake to maximise your chances.  

Some universities allow students to combine scholarships, while others permit only one scholarship or the highest-value award. Scholarship policies vary by institution, and our counsellors can help you understand the options available for your chosen university.
