New International Student Scholarship at Swinburne University of Technology Offers 30% Tuition Fee Discount

Swinburne University of Technology has opened a new scholarship opportunity called the George Swinburne International Excellence Scholarship. The scholarship provides a 30% reduction in tuition fees for the duration of their undergraduate or postgraduate studies. The scholarship is aimed at high-achieving international students studying at Swinburne University’s Hawthorn campus in Melbourne for the 2026 and 2027 intakes.

The George Swinburne International Excellence Scholarship is a commitment to recruiting and retaining top international students and an acknowledgement of the legacy of George Swinburne. Students will receive a discount on their tuition for the full duration of their studies, as the discount is not limited to the first year of study or the first year of the course.

A 30% discount on international tuition fees is a substantial reduction and demonstrates a significant scholarship program for Swinburne University. Most Australian international tuition fees are in the tens of thousands of dollars each year. This scholarship opportunity is significant and impactful for students enrolling in three to four-year undergraduate degrees or one to two-year postgraduate degrees.

 

Who Qualifies: Eligibility Criteria Every International Student Must Know

This scholarship is applicable to international students admitted to undergraduate and postgraduate coursework programs at Swinburne's Hawthorn campus for the very first time in 2026. The eligibility hinges mostly on academic performance and a transparent list of requirements that must be met in order for applicants to be taken into consideration.

To be eligible for this scholarship, a student must meet the all course requirements set by Swinburne University. Students must also not be receiving any other Swinburne tuition fee scholarship or tuition fee reduction scholarship. Additionally, students must not be receiving a tuition fee scholarship or a tuition fee reduction scholarship from any other organisation.

Also of significance is that where a student has a situation involving multiple fee arrangements, Swinburne will apply the most advantageous one to the student. Thus, students are not automatically disqualified from consideration if multiple fee arrangements exist; Swinburne will evaluate whichever arrangement is the most favourable to the student.

This scholarship is targeted at students who are newly admitted to Swinburne and to their first course at the university. The scholarship is not for those internal program transfers and/or Swinburne students.

 

How to Apply and the Deadline Students Cannot Afford to Miss

While scholarships can add a significant amount of stress to the process of applying to and attending university, the application process for the George Swinburne International Excellence Scholarship has made things a little easier. Students who apply to one of the eligible courses at the Hawthorn campus in 2027 will automatically receive consideration for the international scholarships if they apply to the eligible course. Because there is no individual scholarship application form to fill out and no separate process to complete, students with eligible courses have little to no additional burden.

For international students who have to deal with the stress of visa applications and other logistics, this model of automatic consideration removes an intimidating barrier. If a student meets the criteria for the eligible course and follows the normal admission process, the eligibility for scholarships will be considered in the course of that process.

Successful applicants will receive a letter that acts as both an offer of admission to the course and a letter that informs the student of the award of a scholarship. Students who wish to enrol in 2026 or 2027 should make sure to submit their application by the deadline of 26th June 2026, as they will be considered for the international scholarships. For all eligible courses and more information, students can visit the scholarship page at swinburne.edu.au/courses/scholarships/international-scholarships.
