University of Western Australia (UWA) Global Excellence Scholarship
About this scholarship
The Global Excellence Scholarship is offered by the University of Western Australia (UWA), a leading Australian research university, to recognise high-achieving international students. It is an automatic tuition discount, tiered by academic results, that helps international students afford an undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degree.
The award is partial funding, providing an annual tuition fee discount for the full standard duration of the course: up to 48,000 Australian dollars over four years for undergraduate degrees, up to 24,000 over two years for postgraduate coursework, and up to 60,000 for some five-year combined degrees. The exact amount is tiered by ATAR or WAM, and it is awarded automatically with no separate application form.
Eligibility is for international (full-fee-paying) students (not Australian or New Zealand citizens or Australian permanent residents) holding an offer for an eligible undergraduate or postgraduate coursework programme at UWA, who achieve at least an ATAR equivalent of 85.00 or a UWA WAM equivalent of 65.00; some high-demand professional degrees (for example certain medicine and dentistry pathways) are excluded. You apply for admission, submit all required academic documents and transcripts, and if you meet the threshold you are automatically assessed, with the award and value confirmed in your offer letter. For high-achieving international students aiming at Australia, it is a valuable, automatic tuition award.
