No matter where you've come from or where you hope to be, a scholarship could make the difference.
At Griffith, we believe that everyone’s experiences and talents are valuable. That's why we’re committed to ensuring equal access to education for anyone who wants to learn.
We offer scholarships providing financial support to a wide range of students, so that they have the additional support they need to succeed. Whether you are an academic high achiever, an elite athlete, have experienced educational disadvantage or hardship, or simply need help with relocating for study, there’s a good chance you could be eligible.
Scholarships provide financial support while you study, allowing you to focus more on your learning. You’ll also get more out of your university experience through exclusive networking events, meeting mentors and developing job-ready skills.
Scholarships application process
Scholarship application rounds open 1 July each year. To ensure you’re considered for all the scholarships you might be eligible for, we recommend you apply annually. Once submitted, your application will remain current until 30 June. If your application is successful, we’ll email you.
