International Merit Award

The International Merit Award is offered by the Australian National University (ANU) for students starting their program in 2026 for Semester 1, Summer Session, or Autumn Session. The objective of the award is to attract a diverse range of academically capable overseas students to enrol in coursework programs offered by the University. The scholarship provides a tuition fee reduction of 20%, 25%, or 50% depending on the student level and geographic region. The award covers undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students (excluding Doctor of Medicine and Surgery). Recipients are also guaranteed accommodation for their first year of study if they choose to take up this benefit. The scholarship is automatically awarded based on academic merit to eligible international students who have applied for admission - no separate application is required.
