Dear Valued Partner,
Exciting Update: Refreshed Scholarship Opportunities for International Students.
We’re pleased to share an important update to Deakin’s International scholarship program from Trimester 3 onwards.
Deakin University, Deakin College and Deakin University English Language Institute have introduced a refreshed scholarship offering for international students studying at Deakin’s Australian campuses, designed to better recognise and reward strong academic performance.
As part of this update, we’re excited to announce the introduction of two new scholarships, which will replace most existing Deakin international scholarships from Trimester 3 2026:
20% Deakin International Merit Scholarship
25% Deakin Excellence Scholarship (International)
These new scholarships simplify our offering while providing even more opportunities for high-achieving students to access a world-class Deakin education.
Simple and streamlined process
All scholarships will be automatically assessed at the time of application, making it easier than ever for eligible students to be considered.
The only exception is the Deakin Vice-Chancellor’s International Scholarship (DVCIS), which requires a separate application.
Please note:
For students already holding offers for Trimester 3 2026 and beyond, the Deakin International Admissions team will issue revised offer letters where applicable, for the new scholarships.
We encourage you to promote these refreshed scholarship opportunities to prospective students, particularly those with strong academic results.
If you have any questions or would like further details, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
