The University of Adelaide is one of Australia’s leading research-intensive institutions, located in the heart of South Australia. With a legacy of academic excellence since 1874, the university fosters a rigorous and forward-thinking academic culture, offering world-class programs across undergraduate and postgraduate levels. International students are drawn to its vibrant campus life, top-ranked faculties, and emphasis on producing globally competitive graduates.
To assist international students in achieving their academic goals, the University of Adelaide offers several generous scholarships. The Global Academic Excellence Scholarship (International) is available to outstanding undergraduate and postgraduate coursework applicants and covers 50% of tuition fees. Another key award is the Global Citizens Scholarship, which provides a reduction of 15% to 30% in tuition fees, with eligibility determined by ATAR scores for undergraduate students and GPA for postgraduate students. These scholarships are designed to reward high academic performance and help reduce the financial load on students throughout their studies.
Students may also apply for prestigious external funding opportunities such as the Australia Awards Scholarships, which are sponsored by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. These fully funded scholarships are open to international students at the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral levels. They include comprehensive support covering tuition, living costs, health insurance, return airfare, a one-time establishment allowance, and fieldwork expenses for research students.
