The University of Adelaide in Australia invites applications for Refugee and Humanitarian Postgraduate Coursework Scholarships in the 2023/24 academic session.
The University of Adelaide was founded with a noble goal: to prepare, for South Australia, young leaders shaped by education rather than by birth or wealth. We have a strong commitment to creating an educational experience for all students that is high-quality and distinctive, one that is without borders. The Adelaide Refugee & Humanitarian Postgraduate Coursework Scholarships have been established in recognition of the financial hardships that are faced by students from a refugee background and will support these students to fulfil their aspiration of studying at the University of Adelaide.
Worth of Award
- The Adelaide Refugee and Humanitarian Postgraduate Coursework Scholarships provide a 100% tuition fee & Student Services & Amenities Fee (SSAF) Scholarship for students commencing postgraduate coursework programs in Semester 1, 2021 who have not previously undertaken any University study in Australia.
- In addition to the tuition fee & Student Services & Amenities Fee Scholarship, Adelaide Refugee & Humanitarian Postgraduate Coursework Scholarship recipients will also receive a once-off payment of $2,500 in April of the first year of their program.
