UQ International Excellence Scholarship

The UQ International Excellence Scholarship is designed to attract high-achieving international students to The University of Queensland. This scholarship provides a 25% reduction in tuition fees per semester for the entire duration of an eligible undergraduate or postgraduate coursework program commencing in 2026. Students are automatically considered for the scholarship when they apply to study at UQ, with no separate application required. Eligible students must be international students who have received an unconditional offer (or satisfied all conditions of a conditional offer) in an eligible full-time program at UQ. They must have met the program entry rank and English language proficiency requirements, and achieved a competitive score among the pool of offer holders for their commencement semester. The scholarship cannot be combined with other UQ scholarships, tuition fee reductions, or full scholarships/sponsorships from other organizations. However, applicants with partial scholarships or sponsorships may be considered. Recipients are notified of the scholarship award together with their letter of offer, and the 25% tuition fee reduction is applied automatically each semester prior to the tuition fees due date. This merit-based scholarship recognizes academic excellence and helps reduce the financial burden of studying in Australia for international students pursuing undergraduate or postgraduate coursework programs across all study areas at The University of Queensland.
