Informational only — scholarship amounts, deadlines and even which schemes are running change often (sometimes per intake), so treat this as a starting point, not a guarantee. Always confirm current details directly with the scholarship provider or RMIT's financial aid office.
Most Group of Eight and other Australian universities offer international merit scholarships as a tuition-fee reduction for strong academic results, generally requiring a linked application alongside (or shortly after) your course application.
Scholarship percentages and slots vary significantly by university and course — check the specific university's international scholarships page, not just the government schemes.
