Missed the application deadline?
Some scholarships don’t require an application as the scholarship will be awarded based on a combination of your results and your offer of admission or study area, e.g. the Scientia Scholarship and the Academic Achievement Award (AAA). These scholarships are listed on the Scholarships website and we will notify you by email if you have received a scholarship offer.
Equity Scholarships
Equity scholarships assist students who may experience financial or other educational disadvantage with the costs of tertiary study and help them reach their academic potential.
Applicants wanting to be considered for a UNSW Equity Scholarship must submit a UAC Equity Scholarship (ES) application and/or UAC Educational Access Scheme (EAS) application directly to UAC. UNSW participates in many rounds, so by submitting an application now, you may be offered a scholarship at any time up until March 2020.
