UNSW Scholarships is responsible for the administration of all undergraduate and postgraduate coursework scholarships offered at UNSW and is the point of contact for any questions relating to these scholarships. Scholarships are offered in a variety of categories and are funded by the University with the support of many generous donors and organisations. Merit Scholarships are available to recognise your academic and other achievements (such as leadership, community involvement, commitment to a program of study). Equity Scholarships provide assistance to students that may experience educational disadvantage or are from low socio-economic backgrounds, and to support access and diversity. UNSW Scholarships is home to the Elite Athlete Support Program and Sports Scholarships, including the Ben Lexcen Sports Scholarship. We also provide information on Prestigious Programs for UNSW students to undertake graduate study at overseas institutions.
