Description
The STEAM Excellence Scholarship has been established to attract high-performing international students to study at the University of Newcastle. This merit-based scholarship acknowledges applicants with a strong academic background and provides an ongoing incentive for continued academic achievement.
Scholarships will be awarded to applicants who receive an offer to study in an eligible program and who will commence study with the University of Newcastle in Trimester 2, 2024 and beyond.
Applicable programmes
Benefits
The scholarship value ranges from AU$4,000 to AU$12,000 per year for a standard full-time study load (80 units) in an eligible program, with the value dependent on the recipient’s region.
The maximum value would be AU$48,000 over a full-time 4-year degree.
The scholarship is applied on a pro-rata basis, apportioned to each course taken in each term of study.
The scholarship benefit will be applied as tuition fee waivers directly to the recipient's University student account.
This will reduce the tuition fee liability by the scholarship benefit amount for each term of the program of study, provided the conditions of the scholarship are maintained. The benefit amount will be calculated on the number of units the recipient is enrolled in at Census date for each term. The tuition fee waiver may not be reflected on the tuition fee account until census date has passed. After census date, a fee waiver will be applied to the recipient’s student account.
