UWA Global Excellence Scholarship 2027
The UWA Global Excellence Scholarship recognises high-achieving international students who choose to study at The University of Western Australia.
International students commencing eligible studies in 2027 could receive up to 20% off their tuition fees for the entire duration of their chosen course, subject to UWA’s eligibility criteria.
Because the scholarship can apply across the duration of an eligible course, the total tuition saving can be significant, particularly for students undertaking a multi-year degree.
UWA International Student Award
The International Student Award provides eligible international students commencing studies in 2027 with 10% off UWA tuition fees for the duration of their chosen course.
For students comparing universities in Australia, it is important to consider the total cost of a degree rather than simply the advertised annual tuition fee. A tuition fee reduction that continues throughout an eligible course can make a considerable difference to the overall study budget.
UWA ASEAN Scholarship
UWA’s ASEAN Scholarship is available to eligible students from Southeast Asian countries.
Eligible students undertaking an undergraduate or postgraduate qualification could receive 15% off their tuition fees.
Students should check the applicable nationality, admission and course requirements before relying on the scholarship when planning their studies.
UWA Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarships
UWA also offers prestigious Vice-Chancellor’s Scholarships for exceptional students.
These scholarships can provide 50% or 100% off UWA tuition fees. For international students, UWA currently identifies eligible students from China, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam, as well as eligible international WACE graduates studying selected UWA degrees.
These scholarships have specific eligibility requirements and should not be confused with the broader scholarship opportunities available to international students.
UWA Global Alumni Pathway Scholarship
The UWA Global Alumni Pathway Scholarship provides 10% off tuition fees for eligible UWA graduates and former study abroad or exchange students who continue or return to UWA for postgraduate studies.
UWA Research Scholarships
Students considering a Higher Degree by Research may also have access to scholarship opportunities.
UWA offers research scholarships that may assist with tuition fees, living costs, travel, research expenses and relocation.
The Forrest Research Foundation also offers PhD scholarship packages for outstanding students undertaking a PhD at a Western Australian university. The package is currently valued at more than AUD $50,000 and includes a stipend, accommodation at Forrest Hall and research and travel allowances.
How Much Could a UWA Scholarship Save You?
The actual saving depends on your course tuition fee and the scholarship you receive.
For example, if an eligible course had an annual tuition fee of AUD $50,000, a 20% tuition fee reduction would represent:
- Annual tuition fee: AUD $50,000
- 20% tuition reduction: AUD $10,000
- Tuition after the reduction: AUD $40,000
If the same tuition fee and scholarship rate applied for two years, the indicative tuition saving would be AUD $20,000.
This is an illustrative example only. UWA tuition fees vary by course and year, and scholarship conditions determine how and for how long a tuition reduction applies.
Who Can Apply for a UWA Scholarship?
Eligibility depends on the individual scholarship. Factors may include your nationality or citizenship, academic results, previous qualifications, selected UWA course, study level, commencement year, previous UWA study and other scholarship-specific conditions.
