Griffith Remarkable Scholarship (Australia)

The Griffith Remarkable Scholarship halves tuition fees for high-achieving international students across the full length of undergraduate and postgraduate coursework degrees at Griffith University in Queensland, Australia. The 50 percent deduction is applied to fee invoices every trimester, from business and IT to engineering, health and design.

Applicants need a GPA of at least 5.5 on Griffith’s 7-point scale, a Letter of Offer and a personal statement written in their own words, and Griffith’s Gold Coast campus counts as regional Australia for post-study visa advantages. Rounds close before each trimester; the Trimester 1, 2027 round is expected to close around late November 2026.

• Minimum GPA of 5.5 on Griffith's 7-point scale (or equivalent) in previous studies; competition means stronger records win.
• An application to study at Griffith submitted by the scholarship closing date, meeting all academic and English entry requirements for the chosen programme.
