Newcastle University Scholarships

To draw outstanding candidates to Newcastle University, the South Asia Excellence Scholarship was established. This merit-based accolade recognizes students who have excelled in the classroom and inspires them to continue pushing themselves to become the greatest version of themselves. A scholarship will be given to students who are admitted into a qualified, non-quota program and start their studies at the University of Newcastle right away.

Benefits:

• The scholarship is worth AU$10,000 for each year of full-time study, divided equally across the courses pursued (pro-rata with an approved load reduction on program plan, credits exemptions, progression or wellbeing grounds).
• This translates to AU$1250 per 10 units of study and will be applied as a tuition charge reduction against the amount of credits originally provided in your letter of offer each semester.
• For additional information, please read the complete terms & conditions.
• The mentioned scholarship amount and the number of available scholarships are simply estimates. The exact cost will be determined by the length of the program and continued eligibility.
