How to write a successful application:

Applying for a scholarship isn’t just about meeting the eligibility criteria.

It’s a good idea to think about why you want a scholarship, it’s your opportunity to stand out and be recognised for where you’ve come from and where you want to go.

One application multiple scholarships:

When applying direct to Deakin for this scholarship, select the ‘Undergraduate Scholarship Application Tri/Sem 1 2025‘ option and, if eligible, your application will automatically be considered for this scholarship. At the same time your application will also be considered for all other scholarships that you are eligible for in the selection process.

This reduces the number of scholarships you have to apply for and increases your chances of receiving a Deakin scholarship.

The scholarship application process is highly competitive with a limited number of scholarships available. Unfortunately, not all eligible applicants will receive one.
