Candidates who submitted multiple qualifications will be assessed as per the qualification that determined their admission to the university.
Secondly, the Grade Point Average or GPA on a scale of 7.0 will be used to determine the eligible postgraduate applicant. Meanwhile, an ATAR equivalent will be used for shortlisting the undergraduate applicants.

ANU Chancellors International Scholarship Application Process
If you are interested in availing this scholarship opportunity, then you need not apply for the ANY Chancellors International Scholarship. The university will automatically consider your application once you meet the eligibility criteria. 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.
