How to apply
Step 1
Use SCHOLS, the online application service to lodge applications for any of the scholarships listed at Step 3 below. Only one application needs to be lodged to be considered for multiple scholarships. Applicants wishing to reapply must submit a new application on SCHOLS through the 'Already Registered' section using their username and password and also submit a 'Form to Reapply'.
Step 2
Applicants will be sent an email once they submit their online application through SCHOLS which lists the documents they are required to submit. Documents, including the referee report forms, should be lodged to the Melbourne Scholarships Office separately by the closing date.
Step 3
Local applicants must submit their application and lodge the required documents by the closing date in order to be considered for the following scholarships:
- Australian Postgraduate Award (APA)
- Melbourne Research Scholarship (MRS)
- Human Rights Scholarship (HRS)
- Prestigious and other major scholarships
Please note the following scholarships have separate application procedures and closing dates.
-
William and Kate Herschell Scholarship (please contact the Melbourne Graduate School of Education.)
- Travelling scholarships (please check the details for the travelling scholarships as each has its own application procedure and closing date.)
- Indigenous scholarships
Application closing date: 31 October
31 October is the closing date for all of the scholarships available for local applicants except the MRS. If 31 October falls on a weekend, you may submit the required documents on the next working day but you must complete and submit your application on SCHOLS by midnight (AEST) on 31 October.
While MRS applications are accepted at any time, applications received after 31 October will only be considered for any MRSs that remain in the relevant faculty's allocation at the time the application is assessed. In order to be considered for the greatest range and number of scholarships, we strongly encourage all applicants to submit their application and all required documents well before the 31 October closing date.
We are unable to consider late or incomplete applications for scholarship.
