CUHK Admission Scholarships

From HK$5,000 up to full tuition. Many awards are renewable for the normative period of the programme subject to satisfactory academic progress, and some also carry an allowance of up to HK$66,000 per year.

Eligibility: Awarded to new local and non-local undergraduate students on the basis of excellent academic or non-academic performance. There is no application: the University identifies qualified new students and tells the selected ones about the offer.

Value and renewal terms differ from award to award — the range quoted spans the whole scheme, not one guaranteed amount.

HKSAR Government Scholarship Fund

HK$80,000 per year for non-local students; HK$40,000 per year for local students.

Eligibility: Established by the Hong Kong SAR Government in 2008 to recognise distinguished local students studying locally and meritorious non-local students pursuing higher education in Hong Kong.

A government fund described here on CUHK’s own admissions page, awarded to students at Hong Kong institutions rather than applied for directly through the University.

CUHK non-academic excellence scholarships for non-local students

One-off awards ranging from HK$50,000 to HK$214,000 each.

Eligibility: Non-local students who excel in non-academic areas such as sports, music, art, science and technology.

One-off and not renewable. The page states these may be awarded, not that every qualifying student receives one.

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.

Macquarie Vice-Chancellor's International Scholarship (VCIS)

A one-off fee reduction of up to AUD $10,000 applied towards tuition fees.

Eligibility: For full-time international students commencing an undergraduate or postgraduate coursework degree at Macquarie, with a minimum ATAR equivalent of 85 for undergraduate applications (a minimum WAM equivalent of 65 for postgraduate applications), commencing study in the session and year stated in the scholarship offer letter. Applicants must first receive a full offer to study at Macquarie and then complete a short scholarship application form. Macquarie lists the applicable course as "All". Other study levels, such as Macquarie University College pathway programs and Study Abroad, may be considered case by case.

Macquarie states the award "is awarded to recognise academic excellence" and is "a highly competitive scholarship based on academic merit" — an explicit claim about how it is decided, with no financial-need element, so merit rather than both. No coveragePercentage: the value is a capped cash amount ("up to AUD $10,000"), not a percentage of tuition. The undergraduate bar is an ATAR-equivalent rank, not a percentage mark, and the postgraduate bar is on Macquarie's Weighted Average Mark scale, so neither is recorded as a numeric bar. Applications are open year round but the scholarship is described as very limited.

Faculty of Science and Health International Scholarship

€6,100 reduction on the full-time 2027–2028 Non-EU tuition fee

Eligibility: Non-EU applicant holding an offer for one of the listed full-time undergraduate programmes in the Faculty of Science and Health for 2027-28. Applications are considered automatically.

DCU publishes this list for entry in 2027-28; the tuition figures recorded on these programmes are DCU's 2026-2027 rates, so the two are for different years. A recipient of this award is not also considered for the DCU Merit Scholarship.

DCU Merit Scholarship for Non-EU Students

Partial merit-based scholarship. DCU does not publish the amount or a grade threshold on this page.

Eligibility: Awarded to some non-EU applicants on merit; every non-EU applicant is considered automatically, with no separate application.

Recorded because the award is named and its eligibility route is stated; DCU publishes no figure or grade bar for it, so no coverage percentage or grade field is set.

Bond International Undergraduate Excellence Scholarship

50% tuition remission for any single or approved combined undergraduate degree, excluding the Bond Medical Program, commencing in the January, May or September semester.

Eligibility: For international students (not Australian or New Zealand citizens or permanent residents) living outside Australia who have achieved, or are on track to achieve, academic excellence in the top percentile of a high school qualification equivalent to ATAR 95.00 or an IB Diploma score of 38 or higher, who meet the standard entry requirements for their chosen program and have not already commenced undergraduate study at Bond. Not open to students completing or having completed Australian Year 12 in Australia. Students taking English at Bond University College as part of a packaged offer remain eligible.

Bond states in terms that these scholarships "are awarded on the basis of academic merit" — a direct statement about selection, with no financial-need element, so merit rather than both. The ATAR 95.00 and IB 38 bars are a rank and a diploma score respectively, neither of which is a percentage mark, so they are described in prose and no numeric grade bar is recorded. Applications for Bond programs are always open and academic eligibility is assessed when the program application is reviewed.

Bond International Stand Out Scholarship

25% tuition remission for any single or approved combined undergraduate or postgraduate degree, commencing in the January, May or September semester. The Bond Medical Program, Doctor of Physiotherapy, Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice, Master of Psychology (Clinical) and Master of Professional Psychology are excluded.

Eligibility: For offshore international students holding citizenship of one of a long list of countries Bond publishes (from Argentina and Bangladesh through to Vietnam), or international students of any nationality already residing in Australia. Undergraduate applicants must have achieved, or be on track to achieve, academic excellence in the top percentile of a high school qualification equivalent to ATAR 90.00 or an IB Diploma score of 32 or higher, must meet the standard entry requirements for their program, and must not be completing or have completed Australian Year 12 onshore. Considered automatically at the time of application.

Bond states these scholarships "are awarded on the basis of academic merit" and that applicants "need to demonstrate your 'standout' academic achievements" — selection on achievement, with no hardship test, so merit. The ATAR 90.00 and IB 32 bars are a rank and a diploma score, not percentage marks, so they stay in prose. None of Bond's excluded programs appears on StudyPath; its Bachelor of Psychological Science is an undergraduate degree and is not the excluded Master of Psychology (Clinical).

International Entrance Scholarship

$5,000 CAD in tuition credit, applied to the student's first registered term.

Eligibility: Automatic consideration for all international students applying to an undergraduate degree program; admission average of 83% or higher. The increased award value applies to students starting in the Fall 2026 term onward.

Automatic on admission — no separate application required.

International Student of Distinction Scholarship (Tier 1)

On-campus housing and a meal plan valued at approximately $90,000 CAD ($22,500 x 4 years); not a tuition credit. Renewable for up to 3 years (3.5 years for Engineering students) provided the student completes 24 credit hours per calendar year and maintains a minimum UGPA of 80%.

Eligibility: Automatic consideration for international students applying to an undergraduate degree program directly from high school (subject to application/document deadlines). Minimum early conditional or overall final high school average of 90% (converted to Canadian grading scale).

Not a tuition-credit scholarship — pays for on-campus housing and a meal plan.

International Student of Distinction Scholarship (Tier 2)

On-campus housing valued at approximately $45,000 CAD ($11,250 x 4 years); not a tuition credit. Renewable for up to 3 years (3.5 years for Engineering students) provided the student completes 24 credit hours per calendar year and maintains a minimum UGPA of 80%.

Eligibility: Automatic consideration for international students applying to an undergraduate degree program directly from high school (subject to application/document deadlines). Minimum early conditional or overall final high school average of 85–89.99% (converted to Canadian grading scale).

Not a tuition-credit scholarship — pays for on-campus housing only.

International Undergraduate Student Bursary

$5,000 CAD tuition credit per year, up to $20,000 CAD over 4 years (roughly 15% of total degree cost), renewable each year the student stays enrolled full-time and in good financial standing.

Eligibility: Available to new international undergraduate students admitted to a 4-year undergraduate degree program (paying international tuition rates) from the Winter 2026 term onwards. No application needed — UR International assesses and notifies eligible students each term. Requires depositing two years' tuition in advance and completing the first year (3 terms) of full-time study before the first credit is issued.

Distinct from the entrance/ISD awards above: this one requires an upfront deposit of two years' tuition and is only credited back after the student's first full year is complete.
