Description:

The Melbourne International Undergraduate Scholarship is designed to support talented international students from countries with limited access to higher education due to financial constraints. This scholarship offers a 25% reduction in tuition fees for students enrolling in undergraduate bachelor programs at The University of Melbourne. It is aimed at students who have demonstrated academic excellence and a commitment to their chosen field of study. The scholarship seeks to promote educational opportunities for students from nations where the cost of international education might otherwise be prohibitive.
