Scholarships

Our scholarships

Students who show outstanding achievement can be rewarded with financial support during their studies through a scholarship.

Scholarships are non-repayable in most cases; however, they are competitive due to limited availability. Students can apply for the scholarship of their choice and applicants are assessed based on how closely they fit the criteria.

We have a range of scholarships available for those with different skills, abilities and backgrounds. Explore the scholarships below to find one that’s right for you.
