Searching for scholarships in Australia is one of the first things you might think about when you make the decision to study abroad.
Either because you’re low on cash or you want to take the opportunity to mitigate the cost of tuition; opting for a scholarship in Australia is a very good option.
And James Cook University (JCU) have announced a pretty amazing scholarship program which is sure to entice you to study in the Tropics of Northern Queensland! Sofiri can support you with your application to apply for a Scholarship at this world leading Institution surrounded by the spectacular ecosystems of the rainforests of the Wet tropics, the dry savannahs, and the iconic Great Barrier Reef.
JCU is proud to announce the launch of its innovative, new International Student Merit Stipends (ISMS) Scholarship Program, furthering JCU’s commitment to creating a brighter future for life in the tropics through graduates and discoveries that make a difference.
The JCU ISMS program will support high-achieving students from South and South East Asia, China, Africa and the Middle East in managing the cost of living during their studies with a secure income throughout the duration of their program, through an AUD$700 monthly stipend.

JCU is assessing and offering the ISMS to all qualifying students with existing and new applications to study in 2019. Successful students will receive a letter of offer for both their nominated program and the scholarship with a detailed contract outlining terms and conditions of the ISMS program.
Students receiving the ISMS will be required to submit the signed contract to accept the conditions of the program in addition to the letter of offer and tuition fee deposit to accept their offer to study at JCU.
