Australian university announces 25 tuition-free scholarships for international students

Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in Australia is offering Foundation Academic Scholarships to support international students with their tuition fees.

The scholarships are valued at AU$ 5,000 (approximately Rs 2.74 lakh) and are intended to ease the financial burden for students pursuing their studies at RMIT.

A total of 25 scholarships will be available for students starting their studies in the first semester of 2025, and the deadline to submit applications is January 31, 2025.

According to an official announcement from the university, the AU$ 5,000 scholarship is a one-time payment that will be applied towards the student’s future tuition fees. The funds will be credited to the student’s university account after the first census date of their course.

This scholarship provides a valuable opportunity for eligible international students to reduce their tuition costs and make their academic journey at RMIT more affordable.

To be considered for the scholarship, applicants must meet specific eligibility criteria set by the university, and the award will be granted based on academic merit and other relevant factors.

It’s an excellent opportunity for international students to receive financial assistance and support their educational goals in Australia.
