Scholarships are awarded to recognise strong academic performance as well as enable better access so that students can reach their full potential and build on their education aspiration.
This aspect of financial support is a key feature in the University’s holistic provision of services to international students, and continues to strengthen CQUniversity as Australia’s most accessible university. Every year the University provides approximately A$24 million worth of scholarships to support international students.
Scholarships are available from CQUniversity, the Australian government and external organisations. We encourage you to apply for any scholarship or funding you are eligible for.

These scholarships are not available to current students.
Scholarship Eligibility Requirement Changed
The ISS eligibility requirement has changed to 65% from 75% for Term 2 and Term 3, 2020. This means that students who have attained an equivalent of 65% in their most recent studies will now be eligible for the ISS, provided all other terms and conditions are met.
While academic merit continues to be an important selection factor, as a university that is committed to making quality education accessible to everyone, we want to make sure our scholarship support is open to more students, so that they can still achieve their education aspiration despite these times of challenge and uncertainty.
