How to apply for a scholarship at Murdoch University?
There is no scholarship application process. An eligible student simply needs to accept their Murdoch University offer to be considered for an International Welcome Scholarship.
If you’re eligible for the International Merit Award, the scholarship team from Murdoch University will review your GPA for the Year of Study after the release of results each semester and notify you if successful.
Each scholarship works as a partial fee-reduction, therefore payments will be deducted from each semester’s tuition fee, for the duration of the scholarship.
