International scholarships

International study is a big decision, especially when the future can look a little uncertain. So we’ve designed our range of scholarships to give you the support you need in a changing world.

Our generous scholarships mean you could access financial support to study with us.

By reducing your tuition fee, these scholarships recognise your achievements and reward your commitment to your future.

We’ve increased the range and amount of scholarships we offer, so whether you’re interested in undergraduate and postgraduate coursework or postgraduate research, there’s a La Trobe scholarship for you.
