In other words, each international applicant who sends in their application for a UG or PG programme at the Australian National University will be considered for the scholarship programme.

If an international applicant is selected for a programme at the university, they will also be informed of the scholarship award on the day they receive their admission offer letter. It should also be noted that in the case of Round 3, the scholarship offers may be transferred a few days later, as well.

Students will be required to accept the academic and the scholarship offers separately, therefore, follow the instructions provided in the offer letter from ANU.
