Scholarships & Funding

Finances are an important part of planning any global experience so you can make sure you can cover any program costs and fees as well as living, travel and other expenses while overseas. While researching a global partner or program, you will find more information such as the program fees, the cost of living and finances information under each brochure page on the search page. The University offers a range of scholarships and facilitates funding options to students taking part in overseas study. You will automatically be considered for most scholarships when you apply for a global experience. You should also check with your host university or program to see if there are scholarships available through them.

On this page you will find the relevant scholarship and funding options administered by the Sydney Abroad team. There is a full list of the overseas study scholarships including general and faculty-specific options.
