Dreaming of studying in Australia at one of the country’s most innovative universities? The University of South Australia (UniSA) invites high-achieving international students to apply for the Vice Chancellor’s Scholarship 2026, offering a 50% reduction in tuition fees for the duration of the recipient’s undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degree — up to four years of full-time study.
Overview
This prestigious scholarship aims to recognize exceptional academic achievement among prospective international students. Whether you’re pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree, the scholarship supports you in achieving your academic and professional goals at UniSA’s world-class South Australian campuses.
Scholarship Benefits
Recipients will enjoy a 50% reduction in tuition fees, applied directly to their student contribution invoice at the beginning of each study period. The award covers up to four years of full-time study (undergraduate or postgraduate by coursework).
However, to retain the scholarship, students must maintain a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 5.0 or higher. If the GPA falls below this threshold, the fee reduction will pause and resume once the GPA requirement is met again.
