Molecular Biology

International Baccalaureate Excellence Scholarship

£5,000 per year for each year the course lasts.

Eligibility: Studying the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma programme; an international student paying the Overseas rate of tuition; applying for an undergraduate course within the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Natural Sciences, or Imperial Business School. No fixed IB point-score threshold is published — academically excellent IB applicants are nominated for the scholarship by the Imperial department they apply to, as part of the admissions process (no separate application).

For 2026 entry, Imperial is offering 23 of these scholarships across the three eligible faculties (Engineering, Natural Sciences, Imperial Business School). Awarded by department nomination, not application; continuation depends on maintaining satisfactory academic progress.

UNSW International Student Award

A 20% contribution towards tuition fees each term for the duration of the program. It can be combined with other UNSW scholarships, but not with special offers or tuition fee arrangements under the Sponsor Partners Program.

Eligibility: For international students who are citizens of an eligible country, commencing full-time study as a new student on campus in a UNSW Diploma, undergraduate or postgraduate coursework program in 2026 or 2027, holding an offer of admission and not already a UNSW student. Programs offered by AGSM, UNSW Online, UNSW Canberra, UNSW Foundation Programs, Transition Program Online, any Hexamester-calendar program, and Study Abroad students are excluded. Applicants submit a personal statement of no more than 500 words on their reasons for studying the proposed program.

UNSW publishes an explicit "How will I be assessed?" section for this award: applicants are assessed on their ability to demonstrate "Academic Merit" and "Aptitude and commitment to studies". That is a statement about how the award is decided, not merely a bar to apply, and no financial circumstances are named — hence merit rather than both. Confirmation arrives within two days of the offer. The award cannot be deferred.

UNSW International Scientia Coursework Scholarship (PUCA1025)

Either full tuition fee support for the minimum duration of the program, or a $20,000 contribution each year towards tuition fees for the minimum duration of the program. Recipients may also receive invitations to UNSW networking events and guaranteed entry to the UNSW Professional Development Program.

Eligibility: For international coursework students. UNSW states the award rewards high academic achievement, leadership demonstrated at school, in the workplace or in the community, and extracurricular activities such as sport, cultural activities, volunteer work or work experience. A separate scholarship application is required.

Merit is stated in UNSW's own words — the award "rewards students with high academic achievement, leadership skills ... and extracurricular activities" — with no financial-need element, so merit rather than both. No coveragePercentage is recorded: UNSW writes "full tuition fee support", never a percentage, and inventing 100 would be putting a number in the university's mouth.

Australia's Global University Award (PUCA1026)

A once-off payment of $10,000 towards tuition fees.

Eligibility: For international students applying to UNSW. No separate application is needed — anyone who meets the eligibility criteria is automatically considered when they apply to study at UNSW. UNSW states the scholarship rewards students with high academic achievement.

UNSW's description — "This scholarship rewards students with high academic achievement" — is a direct statement about what the award is given for, so merit is recorded. There is no financial-need element and no application, so it is not both. A fixed cash contribution rather than a percentage, so no coveragePercentage.

UNSW College Award (PUCA1027)

A once-off payment of $10,000 towards tuition fees.

Eligibility: For any student who has successfully completed a UNSW College Foundation Studies program and plans to study a UNSW bachelor's degree. Considered automatically — no separate application. UNSW states the award rewards high academic achievement during UNSW College Foundation Studies.

Recorded as merit on UNSW's own wording that it "rewards students with high academic achievement during their UNSW College Foundation Studies". This route is only open to students who came through UNSW College Foundation Studies — it is not a general international award — but it applies to any UNSW bachelor's degree, so it attaches to every undergraduate program here. A fixed cash contribution, so no coveragePercentage.

Monash International Merit Scholarship

A$15,000 a year for the duration of the degree, to a total scholarship value of up to $75,000. Monash offers 20 a year.

Eligibility: International students from any country who receive a full, unconditional Monash course offer and intend to enrol full-time in an undergraduate degree at a Monash campus in Australia are considered automatically — no separate application. Current Monash students, Australian Year 12 students, Monash Pathway (Monash College / Foundation Year) students and entrants to the Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine are not eligible.

Monash International Study Grant

A grant of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 AUD depending on the outcome of the assessment. Recipients must study at least an 18 credit point load per semester to keep the grant.

Eligibility: For applicants from Vietnam, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or Nepal applying for a Monash University Australia undergraduate or Masters course. Applicants are assessed automatically once they hold a full offer letter to study at a Monash Australia campus and meet the academic entry requirements. Students already receiving another scholarship or sponsorship that pays part or all of their fees are not eligible, and the grants are not available to transnational-education or sponsored students.

Basis left unset. Monash says the grants are "awarded based on select eligibility criteria" — study level, meeting the academic entry requirements, and location — which is a list of gates rather than a claim that the strongest applicants are chosen; "must meet academic entry requirements" is the ordinary admission bar, not a merit test. Monash also notes that "Some courses may be excluded" without publishing the list, so eligibility for a specific degree should be confirmed with the university. The number of 2026-commencement grants was stated as limited.
